Real Life: Education Edition
Apr. 28th, 2020 12:19 pmOne student's parent sent me one of the most wrecked papers I have ever seen for math. It makes me wish I could just send a hologram of myself to her living room and try to sort this out myself. I'm retooling her work and sending it off with smaller steps and a new approach. I hope it works.
Everyone else is humming along okay for now thankfully. It won't last, but it's nice when you have it.
Writer Support
Apr. 9th, 2020 10:21 pm My husband is also a creative type. Writing, digital art, role-playing games...
It's not easy to have more than one of these per household.
He's been on his own project and it has not been going as well as he'd like. We're talking deep frustration here. I'm trying to work on my writing as well - which the internet slows has been affecting, keep office hours for my students, communicate with parents, and keep the house cleaned up. Quarantine has been pretty good time-wise, but all the traffic in the house has increased the daily use and maintain item count.
And I tweaked my back. Joy.
But we had a conversation that went something like this:
Me: "I feel that only one of us should be on a project at a time, based on how things have been going."
Gavin: "How can I support you?"
Me: "What do I do for you while on a project?"
Gavin: "Maintain the house. Poke at people to get their part done. Take away my dishes. Feed me. Get me something to drink...But mostly, you let me have my space."
Me: "Unless you are at a good window where you want to info dump all the awesome things you have been doing. Yeah."
