On Being a TA

As a grad student, I get to TA classes. I've never TAed a class before. I'm not entirley sure what I'm doing. In theory, my only real responsibility is to grade papers. But I have a feeling that I'm going to be doing a lot more than that. Like teaching the class when my prof is out of town. Like he will be next week for example.

Although I don't have any of my own classes until Monday, the first class that I'm TAing is tomorrow (err...later today). I don't know who my prof managed to piss off, but his class is scheduled for 8 AM. Four days a week. Sigh. I've gotten into a habit of going to bed around 3 AM. I won't be able to do that and attend class for very long.

I guess I should be going off to bed now. I shouldn't be late to class on my first day. ;)
