It's a Sign of the Times
So this is what it takes for me to have a moment to blog: my students taking a one-hour exam. What do I want to say in this golden moment?
This: When I think of the spring term, in which my teaching load will be greatly reduced from the lunatic schedule I’m on now, I most look forward to writing on the Bible. Right now, I'm teaching all the time, so in my brain it’s all-pedagogy-all-the-time. Great, but by now there’s an imbalance in the Force: after a summer and fall of thinking and writing about teaching, I have a yen for wide-open Bible spaces. (And maybe brush off my Egyptian. Wide open Bible and Egyptian spaces.)
Will next term be different for you in some way? And how will it?
