I had fun this week in classes. You'd have to ask the students if they did too. Spring Break is upon us and I hope I can finally get this time change transition together. 🤞🍎 #ProfessorLife #ThisIsWhatAProfessorDoes #ThisIsWhatAProfessorWears #CommunityColleges #HigherEducation
No excuse. Just don't wanna.

BUT. Sometime in the last 5 years, my ability to protect my time slipped away from me. WHAT.THE.HELL?
I find myself w meetings on my calendar 📆 every single day.
I don't want to be in meetings.
I want to be WRITING! THINKING! PROFESSING! #LifeofanAcademic #ProfessorLife
6/
So much work lately, meeting ran long, and I don't feel great. Tried, but couldn't concentrate.

What a day --
Taught Herzl and Arendt on Zionism in the morning; doing a review of South Asian history circa 1526–1860 in the afternoon.
There are days when I wonder why anybody ever wants to leave college. #professorlife
Sooooo much work today. Too fried

@anna I always teach my students that when they make a list in their paper or presentation, all items on the list have to be in the same category, or of the same type. Might file this one in the “bad examples” folder 🤷♀️

Devastated to discover that there is only one Trekkie among my students, and he hasn't even watched Voyager.

To those who are interested in the 1984 entries:
On page 633 they discuss the development of interior point methods, following the work of Narendra Karmarkar in 1984, page 810 contains the associated bibliography entry, and page 811 contains the bibliography entry for Levin's paper on Universal […]
Start of the index of a textbook. The first elements of the index are "/", "//", "}", "!", "<", ">", "+" and "1", some of which have dozens of page numbers listed after them.
Incredible dedication to indexing in Kleinberg & Tardos.

Wah it is Monday morning for sure!
Was lucky enough to make it to Delft train station, got my bike, raced to the office. When I arrived, it turns out that all the lifts were out of order, so I had to drag myself, my backpack, my big textbooks […]
...researchers are the ones who are disciplined enough to only chase one rabbit at a time, or the ones who creatively chase all of the rabbits they find interesting? Or does the secret lie in how deeply you let yourself explore each hole before you turn back? #professorlife #academia

I think my brain broke without me realizing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing nor even what I'm supposed to be watching. Probably not a VMars rewatch. Send help! 🧠 #ProfessorLife #ThisIsWhatAProfessorDoes #ThisIsWhatAProfessorWears #CommunityColleges #HigherEducation
Almost finished grading 400 exams, then next week again teaching (more than) 400 students. #ProfessorLife
