Ugh

This weather is obscenely hot and miserable. All I want to do these days is curl up next to an air conditioning vent and sleep.

Getting in the way of that plan: I have to teach, pack, and apply for jobs. Yes, you read that right: even though I have a perfectly good job that I’m not starting for another month, I’m already applying for jobs* starting in the fall of 2006. Academe (particularly, but not exclusively, political science) is insane.

* I am proud of myself for showing restraint, dumping at least a dozen job listings I’m qualified for into the trash, and focusing on the jobs—almost all of which are at liberal arts colleges and other small-to-midsize private institutions—I actually want. We’ll see if my self-discipline holds up through November.
