My employer let the cat out of the cellophane bag by announcing that there wouldn’t be enough students for me to teach a summer quarter. There are 3 instructors ahead of me in seniority. I’ve met two of them and they’ve been very cordial and helpful. I’m looking forward to meeting them in person someday soon. I was told that I could sign up to be a guest instructor this summer if I didn’t get a class of my own. I applied for it but it hinges on the permission of the instructor. Apparently this person does not appreciate anybody watching them work. Looks like I’ll have to be patient and see what fall quarter brings. If I don’t get a class, I’m going to apply to other schools. Meanwhile I keep working on my flash cards to stay current on the Blackboard version of Medical Terminology. For instance, did you know that the correct term to describe a growling stomach is borborygmus? That’s why I keep up with the terminology. Someday I hope to grade that on a test.
