All my days are filled
Aug. 8th, 2009 10:13 pmStill going slightly mad, but I've finished the revisions to my syllabus. HALLELUJAH. (Okay, I'm still debating whether to add in a writing reflection of some sort at the end, but...this is harsh, but I don't want to read them. The kids don't want to write them, and it seems especially futile when I'm already making their last paper due on exam day. Their participation grade is already enough of a gimme, too. I think I'm just going to skip it.)
Still have to reword parts of my last two paper assignments (well...sometime before, uh, October, anyway), and I'd like to get some more done on my thesis before the semester starts. But I feel much better about the syllabus.
In other news, thanks to some finagling by my dad, I got the BSG S4 soundtrack tonight. I haven't gotten to listen to much yet, but the first track, aka the extended and non-acapella version of Gaeta's Lament? HOLY CRAP, THAT IS FANTASTIC. WOW. Alessandro Juliani is amazing.

Hah, grown-up. I had a student in the 102 class I TAed for last semester ask me for advice on chosing a major and a career, and I was like, "Wait, you expect ME to have answers about this business of being a grown-up? Whaaaaaat?"
