Midterms

I legit don’t know what happened. I blinked – and we’re halfway through the semester already? That old adage is indeed true – time indeed moves faster the older you get. But also the busier you get.

But could it maybe not? 😂👀

Midterms in my field means exams for most – students will take them, and faculty will grade them. For me, it’s merely the midway point. It’s one of the perks of teaching English – we don’t generally have exams. (I did at first, and then thought…why? Your papers should indicate your understanding of the material – though with the advent of AI, maybe those will have to be reintroduced… *shudders*)

So midterms for me means we’re halfway – half the papers have been graded, half the lectures given. Another half to go. And much as I am looking forward to winter break, I’m ok if it takes its time. There is much to do before then.
