The end of the term

As you can imagine, this term (January-May 2010) was stressful for me. On top of my consulting, my research, and my involvement with the social media community, I was teaching two courses at the undergraduate level (at The University of British Columbia), and two courses at the college-level. I’m not very used to having teaching loads up to 2-4 (2 courses in the fall, 4 in the spring).

I have submitted grades and thus officially, the Spring academic term is over for me. I’ll still be doing teaching over the summer, but it won’t be nearly as stressful as this term used to be (or at least, I hope so). The one thing I have to say is, despite how stressful the term was, I absolutely love teaching, and I wouldn’t trade my life as an educator for anything. May 15th is Dia del Maestro (Day of the Teacher/Professor/Educator) in Mexico, so I plan to have a celebration for myself.
