I was hoping to write a bit more substantial post this evening, but it has gotten fairly late, so I won't do that any more. (Sorry, I know you are deeply disappointed!) But I did want to pause for a moment and appreciate the fact that I (we) made it through the first week of online Houghton-at-home.
For me it was a fairly hectic week. Transitioning all of my classes online is challenging, but my department was also trying to interview a candidate in history this week--which we unfortunately had to do remotely, instead of being able to bring him on campus. I was supposed to travel with 19 students to Germany over Easter--we would have left next weekend--so I have been working to reschedule that trip for next fall instead. A professional association on whose board I serve--the Austrian Studies Association--has been meeting (also via Zoom!) to cancel its conference, planned for June in Poland, and perhaps schedule that next year. And I've still been catching up on some exams and other things that still needed grading from before all the students ever went home.
Lots to do. But we made it. And tomorrow--we start all over again.
