I really, really like being a TA. I’m coming back next year, for pay hopefully. It’ll be very convenient because I can reuse all my mutilated pig jokes. Rugg was right, being a teacher does have its perks. <\/p>\n
Another thing I’m coming back to: Boiler Blast<\/a>. You can see for yourself how much fun it was in the Facebook album. Incidentally, there’s a member that is the spitting image of young Mr. Rugg (from high school, which means that no one in the eastern time zone will get this). But not only that, I get to bring my obsessive bureaucracy to the group. This year, I mostly helped design the logo. See below for the part I made from scratch in GIMP. The rest of the picture may seem a bit… derivative. Ahem.<\/a><\/p>\n Soooo… I sort of left everybody hanging with my pharmacy interview, huh? Well, I was sort of inconsolable and frustrated for a good couple of weeks. Spent an entire Spring Break venting my spleen (< - figure of speech; all of my students should know that the spleen is a secondary lymphatic organ and has no exocrine capacities) with pixelated violence. \n\nBecause... well, it didn't go that well. So, yeah...\n\nLife goes on. Exams, returning from break with 8 lbs of granola\/tube socks. Yada, yada. I fight zombies, blog about it, work, which pretty much brings us up to today. \n\nI get the committee's letter, the Saturday after break. The diagnosis is: Wait-list. #19\/80\n\nWhich is slightly better than expected. Considering how my interview went. Tough crowd that day. \n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I really, really like being a TA. I’m coming back next year, for pay hopefully.
