Lecturing in the age of Covid

With rules mandating that every other seat is left empty and prohibiting group exercises, I have kicked off this semester of campus teaching. While I have been bending the rules a bit to allow for more student-to-student interaction, the first two days have still left me more exhausted than usual. With five more hours of lectures coming up tomorrow, I am already kind of tired of my own voice.

Still, after escaping to Argentina, at least in liquid form, and then playing a bit with continents as I made tabouleh with pomegranate for dinner, I should say that life is nevertheless quite okay.
