What I did this semester

It's all over! (Well, it's all over except for two exams and a lot of grading.)  In any event, the life of a senior faculty member at a regional comprehensive with a 3-3 teaching load:

Teaching:

• Three courses, two of which were new preparations

Service:

• Chaired Appointments, Promotion, and Tenure Committee (this committee was fairly busy)
• Academic Senate Representative
• Undergraduate Curriculum Committee (this will be very busy next semester; it normally has little to do in the fall)
• A college-wide awards committee

Scholarship:

• Drafted and submitted three commissioned articles (about 85 or so manuscript pages).  One of these has returned for editing; I'm waiting on proofs for the first and comments for the second
• Various Choice reviews

Ongoing:

• I'm finishing up my revise-and-resubmit, which needs to go back before the end of this year

...in other words, a fairly typical semester.  My Tuesdays and Thursdays were the only thing unusual about it: normally I teach MWF and have TuTh to do course preparation and writing, but this time, I taught MWTh(an evening seminar)F, which threw my schedule off a bit.  Next semester goes back to normal.
