The autumn term was a desert for me
blogging-wise. Ditto social life,
reading novels, and keeping on top of basic cleaning (which might explain how
goddamn ill everyone seemed to get!). This was because I was teaching, something I
hadn’t done for over a decade, and with a vision of undergraduates turning up
keyed up on their reading lists plus
an impressive range of online sources, I panicked and did the only thing I
could. I over-prepared.
