I feel comfortable in the academic advisor and colleague role, but at times a coach, psychiatrist, and/or parent role appears called for (or wanted, or needed, or required?) and then I start feeling woefully unqualified. <BR/><BR/>See Good Enough Woman, even after the angst of your own dissertation is over you then get to worry about your students dissertations! Wait, sorry, that's not very encouraging is it? Listen to Ink, settle into a Young Ones marathon with a big bowl of lentil soup.

I think that smell is actually stale milk. And my dog and kids went after the large fan-shaped explosion of articles and books around the desk, and now suddenly I have drawings of frogs and sharks mixed in with the research. Man, my head itches. Maybe I should go take a shower. But wait, I think I should grade these comp essays first. Did you ask me a question? Oh, look. On the counter!

True story: once I set off to teach comp and was halfway to my car before I realized that I still was wearing my jammies (had started working at 5 am and only looked up at the clock to see it was almost class time, so grabbed my bag and ran). Yes, I changed. But it was scary. ::shiver::Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
