Okay, today’s post is going to have to be fast because it’s 10:50 p.m., and my friend is on her way over here to pick something up, so I know once she gets here, I won’t be able to write.  My day:

• Therapy – It’s therapy.
• Teaching – I had a student use AI so I had to give my don’t use AI lecture especially since we’re doing a summary and the whole point is to put it in YOUR OWN WORDS. The student who used AI was late so missed the lecture, but! I think they glimpsed the slide when I was fooling around with the computer because they were very glum when we had our conference. I had them tell me what everything meant, told them that they understood, and that I want to hear THEIR voice not AI’s. The student had done it right but put it into AI to make it “sound smart,” so then I had to give the class my sounding smart means presenting information clearly so people understand.
• Office hours –  I spent office hours and beyond fighting with the two printers, One wasn’t working. The other wouldn’t connect to my laptop so I had to go to the office with my flash drive to print. Found out when I got there that the printer only prints PDFs from the flash drive and not Word docs. The good news is that I figured out how to batch convert Word docs into PDFs and how to put them all in one document so that I only have to print ONE thing from the printer and not each individual file.
• Theater – I went to see Topdog/Underdog, the play written by Suzan-Lori Parks. Both actors were amazing, but it was heavy. A friend of mine said she was underwhelmed by it and I’ll see her this weekend, so I’m looking forward to discussing it with her.
• Home – And now I’m home. I talked to my daughter for a hot second before going to my room to write this post.

It’s now 11 p.m., and I’m hitting post. Sorry in advance for any egregious typos.
