Sometimes I find it to be a lot of work being a college professor.  You see, I have been hired to work on my research of the human growth hormone and I am making leaps and bounds.  In fact, things have been going better than expected and I am impressed with the results.

Even though I am primarily at the college to do research, I am also required to teach as well.  So, this term I am teaching a number of medical courses that touch on my field of study and for the most part, it has been going very well.

But, I need to spend a lot of time preparing for lectures, and that is exactly what I have been doing for the last couple of hours.  Some days, it seems that I spend more time on preparing materials for the classes than my research, but it is a requirement of my tenure here.

I did have the bright idea just a couple of years ago to see if I could get out of teaching altogether, and I just about lost my job over the whole ordeal.  So, I guess I will just quit complaining about the whole thing and get this done – the sooner I am done, the sooner I can go home.
