The fall semester started today — in mid-August. Although the University of Montana has opened the campus and is doing many classes in-person, I am teaching/working remotely.
Teaching remotely is much harder than teaching in-person, truth be told. It takes more time, more effort, more everything. There is so much more unhealthy sitting with remote teaching/learning and it is just stressful, with so many balls in the air all the time.
But I am fortunate to have this option — too many others are forced out into the Great Viral Unknown.
I do not know about you, but I am pretty well over this pandemic — too bad the pandemic is not over us yet. Sigh.
At least I have an extra cute puppy as my assistant as I Zoom away…
