I'm sure I shared the story of when Genevieve got me banned from a cat forum by logging onto my account and insulting the other posters for talking about cats on the Internet. (She called them gay, which to her was an insult. I thought that was odd, given the circumstances.) Man, they were pissed off! They didn't think I was intellectually responsible then.
I've got a 3/3 teaching load (three classes in fall and three in spring). If I were at a more prestigious research university, I'd have a lighter load, but alas. Tenure track jobs are very hard to come by in my field, so I'm grateful for what I have.
My voice made it through all three classes, but barely. (Or "barley," as my students would write it.)
L'Incandescent, you are like an intellectually responsible version of textsfromdog.

Do you have all your teaching in one semester? Three sounds like a lot for one semester.
