So CDI this past week was quite stressful. From Monday through Friday, 9 to 5, we discussed:
The killer, tho', was the snacks. In the back of the study room, there was a table with a large urn of coffee, water, soda and FOOD:
I GAINED 6 POUNDS.
So before I get back to work, I need to exercise a bit, maybe for a couple of weeks. I feel sluggish and kinda dumpy. Ugh!
- Course goals vs. objectives
- Assessments: to measure or not?
- Do I know the subject so well that I don't realize what my students don't know?
- In-class activities: are they engaging or is it busy work?
- Et cetera, et cetera.

- Fruit (bananas, plums, apples, and--omigod!--cherries!)
- Energy bars (Special K, granola, and--oh no!--peanut butter W/ DARK chocolate)
- Bagels with cream cheese
- Potato chips (regular, wavy, ruffles, BBQ, and--my favorite!--kettle)
- Muffins (plain, whole wheat, cranberry, blueberry and--gulp!--coconut)
- And a bottomless bowl of small Trail Mix bags.
I GAINED 6 POUNDS.
