#AcademicSky Well, my Monday was going great until a stray dog decided to take a bite out of me. It seemed like he was betting his friend on whether or not he could bite me. Apparently, he could! So, how has your week been?

Well, I was looking forward to working from home this Thursday, but now I feel like I'm living in a dog kennel. The dogs in the building are barking their hearts out, a live barking symphony, and neighbors barking at them to shut them up!

After a year of giving students the option of writing their ideas on paper and giving me their notes if they cannot share their ideas in class because of shyness or social anxiety, finally today 2 students used this method for the first time ever and I am happy for them 😊

It's Sunday. The alarm is off. The plan is to sleep until 9. What are chances I succeed?
Zero when you have a cat who wakes you up exactly at 6 and then at 7. I never use snooze function, but my cat is an automatic alarm with snooze 24/7 😄

Week 2 of Fall semester done & feeling pretty good about the courses and students. This is coming from a part-time instructor who felt depressed and really down after each class last semester.
Fingers crossed it stays as it is, else it is going to be just survival

One of my favourite topics to teach is emotional intent. It's something you don’t see often in presentation training, which tends to be too focused on body language and voice.

I made it through my first week of teaching 22 hours! Surprisingly, it went better than expected. It was a great start to the fall semester, except for trying to walk to the new workplace as Google said it takes 25 mins from home. Guess what? It didn't. It took 50 mins!

Do you think that sending an abstract to a conference is a legitimate motivation tool (if the abstract gets accepted)?

#AcademicSky Fall semester starts tomorrow, and I will teach at 2 different universities. It is a little bit scary as I have many hours to teach. Fingers crossed I officially get full-time next semester and only teach at one university! Once again, I need to survive the semester.
