too much

last week has been just too much, I just don't get to prepare enough
lectures. Most of the things I teach them for the first time, so it
takes ages to make the powerpoint presentations. I know, I can find
some examples in the internet, but still have to do a lot of work
before going to the classroom and pretend that i know what I am
talking about.

On top of the lecture preparation, I have to organise practical
experiments for the students, which involves chasing technicians,
finding all the chemicals and materials (that may be scattered all
over the college) and look for alternatives to the experiments that we
were planning when the things are not available!

I am upset because we interviewed chemistry lecturers in december but
finally nobody is been appointed (probably because I am here). The
idea should be that I could work with somebody that will remain here
after I leave, but sadly, future planning is not yet in the list of
things to do of the college...

At least this week I don't have to teach one of the subjects, and I
will have some time to catch up!!
