Thank Woot It’s Friday
Pretty successful day, for sure, but busy as heck. Feeling a little too disparate to blog successfully. It’s rather late.
Went to class, collected our first round of homeworks from the undergrads. Most everyone turned them in! Much success. Class went well and everyone seemed to be into the morphology thing. Chatted with some kids after class, and busted over to office hours. Spent most of office hours talking to my co-TA and other TAs in the office about Warcraft and other slightly-more-relevant topics. Good times! I do really like the grad students in our department. We’re good folks. Anyway, had my last two sections this week and they both went really well! I think I learned from my Wednesday mistakes and moved forward. Guess we’ll see how the content shapes up this week, when I’ve really got to do the “teaching” part of the ol’ job. Linguistics Graduate Group party after that, which was fun! Went over with another one of the 1st years, who I really like, and chatted with many of the rest of the 1st years. Again.. what a great group! Students and faculty alike. Yay. Came home and graded homeworks and watched crap TV while Lewis was out celebrating his friend’s birthday. These homeworks are gold, but truthfully I’m really glad to see how well all the kids are getting the material. And those that aren’t… pure gold. And lots of material for next week’s discussion sections!
Weekend. Tomorrow. That’s all I really have the steam left to say. Yay!
