Teaching is tiring.

As usual, my week so far hasn't proved to be very productive. But not a total waste, work-wise.

My tutorials went well today, I think. I mean, they weren't fabulous, but they went well enough for the first ones of the year. These tutorials should prove themselves to be relatively stress free, though of course I will have to keep up with class readings and get myself to lecture regularly.

JDS just gave me a talking to on the phone about my needing to write my first chapter. And she's right. I just need to do it, and I do actually feel comfortable starting that process now. (I absolutely was in no position to a few weeks ago; now I have a general sense of what my dissertation is about.)

I am hungry.
