Metacognitivenuerodynamics

So, I've started to get bogged down with the work from my personal classes in addition to my GA duties, and I feel like I want to discuss this phenomenon with my students. I want to see how they're doing, since I feel like we're kind of in the same boat. Not to say that beginning a Graduate level program is the same as starting the first year of an Undergraduate program, but I feel like I'm in this new unfamiliar world- the same as my students. If I, a student who did not take any time between Undergrad and Grad school, am having these anxious feelings about the semester almost being over and not wanting to finish my work, perhaps my students are experiencing it too. While I have peers who can completely relate to my situation, I'm sure, I think my focus is on my students because I'm in an entirely new area of education, similarly they may be experiencing classes they've never even heard the name of before; biomechanics, sociolinguistics, metacognitiveneurodynamics! (I know the last one is fake... I'm just trying to prve a point here) Maybe I'm just putting a stereotype on my students, or perhaps I'm just trying to find anyone who can remotely relate to my current condition. Either way, I feel the impulse to just sit down on the desk at the front of my classroom and really talk to my students. How are they doing? Really? Is the feeling mutual? Anybody? Does anyone else have the urge to get to know their students? I'm torn because my last post was about making sure the line between personal and professional isn't crossed, but now I'm feeling quite the opposite. Are there steps I can take next semester so that I am able to overcome this urge in a civilized, still professional way?
