Never thought I'd be grateful
Mar. 25th, 2020 09:37 pmfor losing my sabbatical. I was just thinking about it. Right now I would have had to travel for my research. Maybe I'll get to do it one day, provided my school survives this. It very well could not. MANY universities may fail, like so many other businesses. (but you don't see me saying open it back up and whatever happens happens, side eyes the GOP).
I am however doing my best to insure students will be back. I have to set the timer on my exams at 90 minutes instead of the 75 they'd have in class because of the slow-ass internet. It gives them more than a minute per question. A couple of my better students have already finished two of their three exams. You can't tell me in one week they studied four chapters worth of materials. I know they're cheating. I can't prove it but I know it (granted I've taken online classes I KNOW how easy it is to cheat) Well, there will be a lot of nursing students who'll pass and end up back next year (granted these students would have had As anyhow). This is why I'm not as big of a fan of online education as some.
I'm almost up to Halloween on my show backlog. Yeah that's how far behind I am.
And here's a meme taken from literally everyone: Ask me my top 5 of anything and I'll answer. I will say that if I think it's too private or something I dont' want out in public I'll ask you to ask again. Anything fannish should be fair game though.
ETA - And just like that I'm suddenly a fan of Jodi Whittaker as the Doctor because this tweet by her as the Doctor about the pandemic is well it's just worth watching, plain and simple. You can see it here.
