Augh. I haven't felt much like myself lately. I got to DC on the 14th and have been involved in various NSLC work since. My staff arrived the 17th and we've been in training sessions all day today and yesterday. The staff is completely different from years past; I have three "old" people, three former Assistant TA's, and three brand new people. And my two ATA's who are both former students. That's all. The staff is 12 people, including myself. A far cry from the days of 30 TAs and 5 ATAs running a double session. The staff is really great thus far (minus one snafu that will not occur again), and I'm excited to see the dynamic they develop.
It's weird, I haven't wanted to be around anyone much for the past couple of days. I always feel like I should be doing something else. Then I come sit in my room and try to work, but am unproductive. I'm almost glad session starts tomorrow - the reality and chaos will prolly pull me out of whatever funk this is.
It's great seeing old friends and meeting new faces - everybody changes and develops every year, and it's interesting to be able to observe that.
Wish me luck tomorrow!
