Was halfway through a post when I noticed this isn’t my teacher tumblr. We’ve reached the point in the semester when I need more sleep than I’m getting.

Gave a pop quiz today. I felt so dirty. Not my usual style, and I vowed I’d never be that instructor, but it had to be done.

I always give my cell number to my students, so that they can text me questions, or call in case of an emergency. A few will text, but none ever call. One of my students just called with a great question about their assignment that is due on Friday.

I needed this phone call. I have been stressing myself out for weeks as to whether or not my students are learning what they need to, and how to improve class participation. So, to have one student make use of my open availability has made my night. That's the teacher life sometimes. One student learning and improving is enough to remind me why I do what I do.

I need to work on my gif making skills. I am in desperate need of a gif that sums the displeasure of grading, and then a celebratory gif for when I'm finished grading.

Office hours, aka a few additional hours of tumblr I squeeze in during my work day.

Grades are submitted. Fall 2013 semester is finally officially over.

If I had celebratory gifs, then I would post them here. I'm too tired to even think about searching for the perfect gif.

My friend and I are so excited that we're moving out of the TA office and sharing an office in a different hall. We've been texting each other about how we pan to decorate it. Never mind the fact that we're both only guaranteed the office space and teaching job for one semester.

We've arrived bitches!
