I'm much better now after lazing around and going to bed early for a couple days.<BR/><BR/>You know, in spring I was teaching first thing in the morning and had exactly the same experience as your bf. I wonder when _is_ a good time for teaching?Sisyphushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09880634753539329199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366909960546184927.post-5578036416392673912007-08-11T11:58:00.000-07:002007-08-11T11:58:00.000-07:00Ugh.

When the Boyfriend--a consummate late-sleeper--taught his classes in grad school, he always scheduled them for the 9am slot, on the grounds that otherwise he'd spend all day prepping for them. Of course, the downside to this is that he always had such a feeling of accomplishment after teaching that he was inclined to take the rest of the day off anyway. It is utterly baffling to me how anyone gets anything done while teaching.<BR/><BR/>Maybe the best thing is to just accept that the next 5 weeks (5 to go, right?) will not be your most productive, and to concentrate on doing the "easier" tasks up to that point--reading, drafting job market materials, writing little bits here and there, that kind of thing. The demands of your dissertation might not accommodate that, of course, but taking a little bit of the internal pressure off could help you to not be utterly miserable.
