Tomorrow I will go into the classroom for the last time until 2024. Yes, twenty-four.
I bunched my teaching into the Fall of this year and the spring of 2024 to give myself a break from teaching.
As I always say, the only thing I love more than teaching is not teaching.
Let the break begin.

Happy sabbatical?

It’s not a sabbatical because I’ll still be Chair and at work every day. The real sabbatical will come after I complete my second term as Chair. But it’s still fun not to have to teach for a year.

Not lucky. Cunning like a fox!

Absolutely, I engineered it this way. Everything is a tradeoff, so I slaughtered myself this semester to make it possible.

Oh, I know it was her cunning ways… It’s just that where I teach that kind of thing can’t be arranged in that way. Oh, and sabbaticals are unpaid leave (one year for every ten years of teaching).

Our sabbatical is paid 100% if it’s one semester and 50% if it’s two semesters. I skipped my sabbatical to be Chair, so I’m trying to organize something to compensate myself for the loss.
