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

And it’s started again, when my classes are getting pushed aside for administrative concerns.

With my first lecture class in computer systems organization, where I have to coddle one student again who didn’t take the prerequisite switching theory (hopefully the last of her batch, after the two I had last term) I was in a meeting with the brother president about student affair concerns that ran long.

So I had to send a text message to the secretary of student affairs telling her what to have my students do.

Good thing there is a textbook so I just had them read the first part of the chapter we’re in, and answer the corresponding exercises. But that’s not something I want to do often.

But the next session, where we’re discussing the answers to their exercise, I had to be called out again to go to the brother president’s office before he left the campus, which would have been before my class ended.

I apologized to them for leaving them in the middle of the lecture, telling them to finish the analysis of the circuit that I started. Hopefully it doesn’t happen again.

In my astronomy class, I had to leave at the start to deal with a supplier who was going on campus to pick up a unit for repair (the one I talked about in the student accessible version yesterday), at the request of the head of the chemistry lab.

Her ulterior motive here is that she thinks that the supplier and I make a great couple. Besides that, she might have been in class at that time, and the technician was by himself (the other relatively more senior one was absent that day).

Thankfully that was finished in just a few minutes, because there was no technician with the supplier to look at the unit first before deciding if they had to bring it. She just took it, signed the release, and left. Good for me; back in class after 15 minutes.

But on the twenty sixth, there will be an extended operations council meeting to evaluate the last year’s performance and to have plans for the next school year.

This is off campus, and for the whole day, again making me miss one astronomy lecture and the computer systems organization class. But I have time to prepare.

Session 2515 really thinks it should be teaching first, anything else second. Class dismissed.
