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. ;)

New Beginnings
I'm entering a new stage of life, so I figured that a brand new blog is in order here. I've refreshed the look. (How do you like it? I may continue to tinker for some time yet.) I've moved to a different platform (from greymatter to MovableType) and I've changed hosts (from a box under my desk to an actual hoting company).
You can find my old site at http://site-unseen.net/wink/oldindex1.html. Everything should still be there and all of the links should still work. Let me know if you find any broken links.
For those who care, I"ve got a completely XHTML and CSS compliant site going here. That's not so impressive anymore as MovableType by default gives you that, but customizing it as much as I have and keeping everything compliant...that's a different story.
Anyways...New Blog, New Stage of Life, New School Year, New Child soon to arrive. There should be plenty of material for me to blog. ;)
