It’s so hard to remain present when adjusting to a new job during a pandemic. You sometimes just go into auto pilot. But especially because of the field I’m in I should model good self care. I’m going to try to make a commitment to that.
I did go on a walk today. I did treat myself to a matcha latte. It’s strange being on a near empty campus that is normally bustling. It’s sad. I’m grateful to start my job as a professor but it certainly has been a weird experience. Now more than ever I think I have to appear “real” to my students. Wish I could invite them over for tea. Some day.
