It took me amount of time doing class thing before and after.Even before sleep every night,I tried to come up with more idea for the classes.Also the stressful before each class bordered me a lot, because I always thought I am not good at talking or speech, I am going to make the class boring, etc. It took me almost half year not to be stress out before class; I was so much nervous back then. I am waiting for the next semester coming and I hope I can feel not as bad as before.Thanks for your writing and it really give me a lot confidence. By the way, I am still thinking about how to design class every night, I need to stop it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02581094436936840063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7989787998613496061.post-3460703448866778592013-03-21T23:39:22.081-07:002013-03-21T23:39:22.081-07:00on another subject, you might advertise this to yo...on another subject, you might advertise this to your female cs theory readers so they can contribute:<br />http://windowsontheory.org/2013/01/22/call-for-research-life-stories/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7989787998613496061.post-78329850413030420812013-03-09T12:47:02.261-08:002013-03-09T12:47:02.261-08:00IT does get better, and the things you stress over...IT does get better, and the things you stress over change. A recent article (which I cannot find now) says that the time as an associate professor (after tenure) is actually the worst in your career (e.g. associate professors are the least happy). Unfortunately I agree with that. For me once I got tenure I was still running crazily and really there was no real relief at getting tenure - in fact once I was tenured, the department expected more from me. Now, several years after getting full prof, I finally am relaxing and really enjoying my job. I sure hope you can find a way to do this sooner than I did!! I think a lot of my frustration and misery at the job had to do with bullies in my department. If you can avoid those, then you may find happiness sooner. good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7989787998613496061.post-22238111185277795302013-02-23T13:04:57.398-08:002013-02-23T13:04:57.398-08:00Thank you for this!
