Ah the life of a TA

The life of a TA sucks!!! I didn't realize what I was getting myself into. This past week has been a blur of grading, and I still have so much left! I have graded 440 test questions, 3 make up exams and 60 papers. I have another 40 papers to go. I can't even believe how much grading I still have to do.

Basically I'm super tired and pretty jaded already. I understand why grad students become alcoholics. I can't wait for Thanksgiving. I really need a break.

Leave me some love, I really need it.

New Plans?

So, I've been thinking...maybe this whole grad school thing isn't going to work out? It can't hurt to have a backup plan right? So here is mine:

Ireland in the winter....sounds a little odd I know...but the plane ticket is practically pennies and I would love to see Ireland in the winter....hell I just want to go back to Ireland!

So there it is. In all reality, this winter I will be taking classes and teaching classes. It can't hurt to dream right? Anyone down to drop everything and run away to Ireland this February? I guess it would take the sting off of ruining my life if I had a partner in crime, also willing to ruin their life for some good fun in one of the most fantastic countries ever.

No, I'm not actually gonna do this. Anyone who knows me at all knows that I would never do this. Not because I don't want to, but because I have no balls.

I'll figure things out.

Hearts,

Holy Moly!

So it has been a super long time since I've updated this fantastically interesting blog...and by fantastically interesting I mean somewhat boring. Since I last updated I've started classes and teaching. It has been pretty good. I love my grad classes....my professors are fantastic and even the readings are interesting! This last statement is particularly surprising (especially coming from me) because it has been a long long time since I've actually read for a class.

I also started teaching this week. I'm not quite sure how I feel about it yet. I don't think I'm too thrilled with it, but it was only the first class so I guess I'll have to wait and see.

I have friends! That is nice so I'm stoked. :)

Ok I'm bored with this so I'm gonna peace out.

Hearts to the max,
Sarah
