I was informed today that there will be no classes this Friday. This would have been nice to know earlier; I’m going to have to rearrange some things this week. All of my classes are discussing Halloween; the plan had been to have students give presentations on Thursday and have a fun day on Friday, but this will clearly no longer work.
After my classes I caught up with a friend for about an hour on the phone. He’s also been working remotely, and we talked a lot about what that’s been like. I’ve been using my phone and computer a lot more since arriving in Mexico and starting this job (Apple says I’m averaging about eight-and-a-half hours of screen time every day) and lately I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to be living online like this. It’s probably not great for my brain, but it’s also probably going to become more and more common for a lot of people. I want to write more about this, but grades are due this week and I’ve been planning my trip to Mexico City this Saturday, so I’m pretty exhausted right now. I’ll try to write more tomorrow.
