Yurt
Yurt is about the only sound my brain makes right now. Thanks, brain. Keep on truckin.
Mondays are sort of weird days for me, since I don’t have class, but I’ve got lots of TA stuff to do. Went to campus as early as I could get away with, though still later than I had planned. I wanted to get to the gym in the morning and check it out, if not actually work out, but this morning as my alarm was going off at 6 am and I didn’t need to get to campus until 1… so I missed my first sort of engagement, but no matter. Got to campus with a few hours to spare and did a little library reading. Sadly, I couldn’t get my favorite desk at the biblioteca but I finally found a suitable one upstairs. The library is much bigger than I realized, and I really haven’t had an opportunity to check it out fully yet. I imagine they must have more computer-parts-endowed desks hanging around, but I never saw any today. Success anyway!
Went to LIN 1 and class went fairly well. Kids seemed fairly aware and the topic was fairly interesting for them, I think. Read for a while in between LIN 1 and my next appointment and nearly got all the reading I had intended done. Had a meeting with my co-TA and Professor Ojeda to talk about the stuff we want to do in sections this week. We’re actually only showing a video, so we’re not doing much and the meeting was pretty short. I tagged along with Dionne to her first section so I could see what the materials we had to work with were, and how to operate the VCR and stuff like that. Stayed through her opening schpeel and snuck out at the beginning of the movie. I’m feeling pretty confident about the sections at this point, after getting to see the students in other contexts a few times now. Nothing to worry about!
Came home and finished up my reading, had a lovely dinner with Lewis, and decided to pretty much take the remainder of the night off. I can feel myself getting pretty sapped this afternoon and since I’ve gotten myself fairly well covered for tomorrow I think I better take the chance while I can! Silly as it is, not working is as important as working at this point.
