Maybe I shouldn't have started this blog now, not with everything that's been going on.

On the first day of the first week of classes for the third term, I met with my computer architecture class, which is composed of third year computer science majors who have not been my students since their mechanics general science requirement fully six terms or two years ago.

In fact, this term, given that the Introduction to Robotics classes that I am handling are required for engineering students but are an elective (and a popular one at that) for the computer science freshmen, and I also have a computer systems organization lab class that are not just for the junior computer science students but also for their batch mates taking up Information Management, that means that I am actually handling more computer science subjects that engineering ones (or general science ones) for once.

The last subject I have not mentioned is mechanics lab, of which I also have one section assigned.

I am not teaching mechanics lecture (for regular engineering freshmen, communication arts students and irregular business administration and computer science sophomores).

I am also not teaching the introduction to electricity and magnetism lecture and lab classes that were petitioned by the irregular engineering sophomores.

I was also not given Advanced Mathematics and Electromagnetic Theory for the regular engineering sophomores, that I taught this time last year for the current engineering juniors.

Lastly I also don’t have Differential Equations, which I taught just two terms ago, and which the acting dean is on the verge of opening (a new part-time applicant gave a demo to teach it yesterday) to bolster the load of the irregular engineering second year students.

One of my co-teachers, the one to whom the Computer Systems Organization lecture class was given, has been trying to get me to take that subject as well since the tentative load was first posted.

Unfortunately, I already have three new class preparations this term, and as much as I would welcome the overload pay, the decision is out of my hands, and in the administrators’ who said no.

Session 923 was also declined. Class dismissed.
