Ahh, home again from Sarasota. Tired, but glad to be home. My Boy is gone fishing, so having him home is the only thing that would make being home better.
Class was really good; the instructor was very encouraging, and has high expectations - but she really helps us live up to those expectations. Lots of important talk about the Academy, about the responsibility of having a doctorate, and being a serious academic. Good stuff to inspire some introspection.
So the email goes out from the dean tomorrow regarding my appointment as interim. We'll see how that goes - I know of one individual who will likely hit the ceiling. She dislikes me because not only does she have her doctorate, but I'm well, you know, white. Trust me - it isn't my imagination; she has repeatedly told a close friend and colleague of mine that we can't be friends because she (my friend) is black and I am white. How sad...I feel sorry for her. Anyway, I anticipate flack from her. But I'm leaving it to Him to handle.
