I'm Still Alive...

...and I'm really damn busy. So my blog is "mostly dead." Sorry, folks. At least it's still "slightly alive." Hopefully you're linked up to me through Facebook so you get at least random tidbits of what I've been doing, thinking, and feeling since the quarter started. To be honest, it's not likely that I'll resume regular posting before December.

FYI, I have a presentation due in a week, a German proficiency exam in just under two weeks, a brief respite and then the madness of finals; two, 15-20 page term papers to write and a lecture on Kant to give as part of my gig as a TA. On a note related to that last comment, I just finished my first ever round of paper grading, and I've learned I care far too much about my students. In the name of protecting my personal time and sanity, I cannot devote 30 or more minutes to every midterm I grade. God bless the prof I'm working with for splitting the pile with me.

Anywho...That's all I've got for now.

ah the joys of TA

I learned quickly not to devote too much time to grading...there are only so many hours of football on a Sunday.
