I am not really that psyched, but it just happened to be a day that included a student heckling from the front row, a crisis of equipment eligibility, an adjunct with a BIG issue, an advisee with GI Bill non-payment and older mother not doing well issues and on top of that the copier/printer started eating paper, blinking colors I have never seen before and ruining original documents that it forgot it was copying. This was all between 8am and 1pm. But I did get this little note from a fellow colleague, "Saw Jay this weekend, old student of yours, continuing on with school. Said he really appreciated that you cared so much for people in your program, that he just doesn't feel that camaraderie at the new school. Wanted you to know that. Knew he used to give you a real hard time. Best, K."
So there's the gift. The chug chug chugging along pays off. And maybe, who knows, I will get that Ed Psych Doctorate eventually, if I don't die first.
