YES HELLO I'M HERE BLAAAARGH

So I got this message in an email from my dear mother yesterday:

I've been checking your blog for an update on your professorship... Nothing ?!?


Which, if I really want to flatter myself, I am going to assume is a sentiment you all are sharing. In fact, I have imagined you all wringing your hands and rocking back and forth just willing there to be an update on my blog for the past week. And to that, I say to you, well maybe if you'd goddamn comment on my posts a little bit more, I'd feel like updating. Harumph.

Just kidding. I kid, I kid. The truth of the matter is that Holy Sweet Jeebus I Am Effing Busy. What with the shuffling of private students around to every possible previously-free corner of my workweek to make room for this class I'm teaching. Oh, and did I mention that the Bossman who initially offered me this teaching gig called me this past weekend to ask me to teach an Ear Training class as well?? Zounds. Clearly, I couldn't say no. And by that, I mean the part of me that has been struggling to make ends meet (i.e. decidedly NOT making ends meet and feeling like Schmooblebuns' kept woman) couldn't say no. But seriously. I think my epitaph might read:

 "She thought she could handle a 50% appointment teaching at a university and teach a studio of 40 clarinet students. And keep up with all the LOST forums online."

Speaking of: Holy sh*t!! LOST!!! Who watched?? Who watched it again on Saturday?? Who watched it again on Sunday?? Who spent the entire weekend trolling LOST forums online instead of grading tests for her class?? (besides me)

Anyway, one of these days I promise I'll expound on my college-teaching adventures. In the meantime, it's the end of a long day in which I taught clarinet lessons from 7am to 6pm (I'm not kidding) and then prepared lecture notes and test grades from 7pm to 10pm. So I'm going to go now...and may or may not visit a few LOST blogs before bed. The end.
