While I haven't entirely forgotten how incredibly difficult that first year was (and I wasn't even on the tenure-track yet!), I can't help but miss those long mornings and afternoons at home with the baby. Willow is lucky to have such a supportive and involved partner.Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16625377988852170518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36486960.post-85485474437582724072009-12-15T20:27:41.600-05:002009-12-15T20:27:41.600-05:00Thanks guys...Junebug is now doing great, so we do...Thanks guys...Junebug is now doing great, so we do feel like we dodged a bullet. What remains is simply parenting three and doing life, which is, frankly hard enough. <br /><br />And EE: hopefully I will be back on track enough that I'll be able to blog a whole lot more than just my tenure process, though that shouldn't be too bad: our requirements here are amanzingly clear and remarkably humane. I'm actually not too worried.Horacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15662740021328265642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36486960.post-78643091500511388012009-12-15T15:10:19.018-05:002009-12-15T15:10:19.018-05:00So cuuuute!

A Horace post!
I hear you about the semes...Yay! A Horace post! <br /><br />I hear you about the semester being about the family and Junebug rather than being a professor and doing that professorial work. For me, it's weird that I focused on so hard on becoming a professor and that work was really the center of my life. Now that I am a professor, it feels more like a means to an end, a job so I can take care of and be with the family. (Not that I haven't done a huge load of work this quarter, but it never feels like I'm doing enough, though I think this is my imposter syndrome.)<br /><br />Junebug is adorable! I'm sorry about his eating troubles, but he looks healthy and happy to me -- and in the final analysis that's all that matters. <br /><br />I can't believe you have going up for tenure staring you in the face. (I know you'll be busy, but I hope you blog about that!)<br /><br />Happy holidays! I hope the semester is almost over for you too!Earnest Englishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01947000435270263070noreply@blogger.com
