The fall semester starts tomorrow. I've been doing various kinds of prep for it for the last two weeks.
I have the same crappy desk in the same dark corner of the large grad workroom. Some people "moved up" to better spaces over by the windows, but I figured, for the limited time I spend there, it's fine. Not Mondays, not Wednesdays, maybe a little time on Thursdays, an office hour each on Tuesdays and Fridays. I like the idea of building a "community" through proximity and time together, but it is simply impossible most days actually to get any work done in there (except grading, paradoxically) so it's necessary to establish a beachhead elsewhere.
There is a lot that has to get done this semester. Here's hoping that really works out.
