Conferencing, grading, responding...

18 November 2021: Spent today conferencing with students from each of my classes, grading Response Papers from ENGL 307, and responding to an Honors Capstone project. In other words, an entire day thinking about, talking about, and helping students with their work, particularly their writing--and working with just about every kind of student I teach.

My brain is tired from the mental gymnastics, but today was a good reminder of the kinds of students we serve--their challenges, their strengths, their needs. It is such a joy and privilege, too, to give them positive feedback and help--to see their confidence grow or be reaffirmed. 

So I am tired but grateful, a pretty constant state these days.
