Back to class again today. Yawn. Professor Nappa managed to talk for 75 minutes about all the scholarly difficulties of studying Catullus. I thought I was going to have to prop my eyelids open with my Mirado Black Warrior pencils. Tomorrow I get 50 minutes of Greek religious texts. Hopefully Professor Sellew is not so inflamed with love for the subject matter and I'll get out of there early.
I start TAing Myth again on Thursday. I'm not saying it won't be nice to get back to work and have something to do, but honestly? The novelty of TAing has long ago worn off. Being the Myth bitch is a totally thankless task, after all. Not like teaching my own Latin class. Totally over it. Oh well. The most I'll ever have to do of it is three semesters.
In other news, my puppy is fabulously cuddly and I am tired.
Yawn. Tomorrow I embark on my first day as a graduate student. Wednesday I teach my first class. I plan to give them a power point presentation as an overview... including a warning of material that may be considered obscene. I'm going to tell them where garden gnomes come from Teehee. They will never look at them the same way again.
Also tomorrow... I am taking a pregnancy test. My boobs are all weird and my digestive system has decided it doesn't work for me anymore. It's either a fetus or a tapeworm. Meh. They both suck the life out of you from within. But at least babies are cute and cuddly. Babies are wonderfulness! Ah... the funny things that childless people say.
They have finally finalized my TA appointment. Instead of two sections, I am doing only one and getting a fellowship to make up for the salary and benefits I would otherwise have received. Yay for free money. Boo for only getting to torture 27 undergrads instead of 54. Oh well. I probably would have been overwhelmed or something if I had had two. And I still get all those free books for TAing. This is especially cool becasue I once had all the books for the course (the booklist is almost identical to Nani's) and had to sell them for spare cash. Now I have only to decide what courses to take myself before I meet with Prof. Sellew on Tuesday. My options are somewhat limited.
