This non-teaching part of my job is taking over both my job and my life. Must make it stop. Must get out of summer online teaching. Must learn to say not just "no" but "hell no." Still have lessons to learn.
In good news, all of my events have been very successful to wildly successful. I was accepted to an NEH summer workshop that includes Annette Gordon-Reed and Jacqueline Jones in the faculty (awesome!), the OAH is this weekend (thus allowing me to feel as if I'm engaging with other historians), and summer is only a few weeks away (sweet sweet relief, except for that whole online thing that I need to get out of yet again). Yea!
Meanwhile, I'm too tired to blog.
That is all.*

Hell yes for hell no! (I've been working on that this year, myself.)
It's harder than it looks, isn't it? I'm on contracts, not tenure-track (because, you know, tenure makes us bad, deadwood teachers, right?), so that makes saying "no" seem a bit more riskier. Still, at some point, a person has to take care of herself and her research!
Congratulations on your NEH workshop--what a dream team! I hope you're enjoying the OAH. (Will you write something about it?)
