I'm feeling outside of academics these days.

  • Maybe it's the 8pm class I'm teaching (I go to school; the halls are empty; the main office is closed; I can't even see if I have mail; I see a few students; no faculty around).
  • Maybe it's being in job transition. My "official" contract ended already at UDM - though I'm still teaching. My next contract at Wayne starts in August.
  • Maybe it's because I haven't done much writing lately. I usually have three articles or so in the works at any given time.
  • Maybe it's because my academic reading lately has been Donald Norman. Decent stuff on design, emotion, psychology. But highly academic? Not too sure about that. Norman is a bit repetitive in his declarations.
  • Maybe it's because it's summer - even if Michigan summer still means 50 degree nights and sun every now and then.
  • Maybe it's because for the first time I'm going to a conference and not presenting.

    Eh. Maybe I'll start posting some of my ideas on articles I started, but have let lapse.

    Hey! Michigan summers are better than that! I enjoy the hot days and the cool nights. Better than the hot and humids days and nights here in the corny state.

    I never feel academicy in the summer until courses are done and I've had some time to decompress and get back to the work of writing (usually some time in June if I teach Maymester).
