I started the below post on March 31st. I never published it (I got involved, got distracted). While I am no longer feeling quite so paranoid, I think I still want to remember these feelings. I think I also want others to know that they are not alone in these feelings. They are real. They […]
I sweat the small stuff. Last week, the above was all I could write. I had to take many steps back and manage my expectations of my ability to do everything right the first time. I hated everything. Every one got on my nerves. The innocuous note letting me know that a link was broken
I woke up at 4:45 AM to update the Tutoring Center website. Now, I realize the above sentence may imply that I set out to get up early and update the website. That is patently false. I woke up to the thought that there were still some updates that I hadn\’t done, and I could

Telecommuting, Thinking/LearningI finally have an office with a window. And cats. But, it had a high cost. I\’m immunosuppressed due to some medication that slows down the progression of my Multiple Sclerosis.

Originally, I had three essays and a final project planned for my freshman seminar this fall,

Thinking/LearningAction Plan, continued… How might you share what you’ve learned at DPLI with your colleagues and continue conversations about critical approaches on your campus? After discussing the notion of digital sanctuary and issues of data collection, I think I want to bring A Domain of One\’s Own to Stockton. I might apply for internal funding,

Thinking/LearningAction Plan Guiding Questions: Putting organizational/structural challenges aside, how do you envision yourself cultivating a (more) critical practice? How might you share what you’ve learned at DPLI with your colleagues and continue conversations about critical approaches on your campus? Meta-cognition seems to have been a theme today, whether implicit or explicit. I think if I
