It's the end of Engl 201B, and I wrote another in-class essay, which is not my strong suit. I'm better with a keyboard and an online dictionary. Plus, creative flow has the propensity of disappearing under pressure.
So, I'm second to last turning in my impromptu paper.
The Engl 201B professor and I start talking about various topics when he says looking down at the table, "I need to quit this job."
Startled, I ask, "Teaching?" The idea of a professor or lecturer or college instructor losing his/her optimism regarding the noble pursuit of spreading education--well, I find it to be unsettling.
"No, no," he says shaking his head, and informs me of his other campus duties that are weighing on him.
