...or maybe I should just put up a big banner in the hallway: Students, Dr. Reaction is leaving this year. No, it is not your fault. No, there is no crying in science.
Every day for the past, oh, eight or so days, I've had to inform a student (or a whole lab section) that no, I will not be teaching here at TempCollege in the fall. I have a job. A job that should turn into a tenure track position.
While it is touching that my students (and students that I haven't actually taught!) get (so) upset when they realize I'm leaving, it's freakin' exhausting to have to address their concerns about my departure! I keep hoping that word will finally spread, but maybe I should just put a big sign on the student union, or take an ad out in the student paper?
