I have officially finished my first week as a professor, and here I am about to start my second. I will admit that this was one of the shortest weeks ever as well as one that felt like it would never ever end. I don't really know what I expected the week to be like but it was an experience. I got home most nights and it would be a struggle to find food, thank goodness I had some leftovers to shovel in my mouth most nights. I thought I would share with you some of my thoughts for the week...
-hello professor life!!! I am so glad to be here.

-wait that was it, also what am I supposed to do all day. You gave me keys and an office. Oh wait here is the textbook. Cool.
-It's syllabus time. Huh, I have to choose exam dates. Strange, can't be hard right. WTF how is this exam at 430 on the Wednesday before thanksgiving. What do I do now?!? Wait I can cancel class if I want to? Cool.
-What's next... I have no idea.
-is this for real, I am never going to get those 90 minutes back. I could have read the text or something. Woof I hate meetings.
-for real it is 630, what happened to my whole day? Also nothing is done on my todo list?!?! Why am I so angry? Oh right I haven't eaten in hours.

-hello Friday, I thought you would never ever get here. I just want to sleep all weekend, what do you mean I have to do chores? Ugh grownup life is hard.
So all in all it was an ok week. I have no idea what I am doing but as far as I can tell as long as I show up every class this semester and teach what I should. It should work out. Who knew that everything would be hard? Oh well, at least the first week finished and I got things done... Now onto week two!
