This semester has me seriously looking at leaving teaching. They beat me down this time. The final straw was the student who said my 9 day turn around for essays was unfair to my students and then asked to resubmit an essay despite the fact the semester ends Friday.

@MalarkeyFried That is genius! I should have went with that

[Dr. Misty Thomas @Dr_AcademicMess]

Has anyone else ever have their nose started bleeding while teaching? I don't think I was trained on how to handle this.

[Dr. Misty Thomas @Dr_AcademicMess]

@MalarkeyFried Now I don't feel so alone! I was walking around checking in with groups and it started. I'm pretty sure i died inside 🙃

@melthedrpoet I remember being there for the weird apology. And I am glad! That is what we were there for ❤

[Dr. Misty Thomas @Dr_AcademicMess]

@melthedrpoet I remember this! It was insane and so unprofessional. I'm so sorry you went through it.

A student today said that audience for a commercial we watched was middle age women then clarified that middle age was 30s and up. I guess I will just mourn my youth at this point.

Once again, PhD granting institutions should let alumni keep institutional access to digital library resources! It’s the very least they can do after not paying grad students a living wage for years!

The “guns don’t kill people” people sure seem to think a book can make you gay.

Your thesis isn't done when it's perfect. Your thesis is done when you despise it.

million dollar idea:
advent calendar, but for academics finishing a writing project. For each page/section/chapter you finish, you get to crack open a little box and get a little treat.

Quote tweet with a photo of you that someone else has taken. Selfies are not allowed.

[Dr. Misty Thomas @Dr_AcademicMess]

Somehow this makes sense (ignore the messy background, please).
