Teaching People Sucks!!
I am now an official TA, which means poorly paid bitch that does all of shit work for BIO 101 at ISU. I don't even have enough time to start on my own research projects. Since I didn't have a lab going in I had to take 9 hours of credits, and teach 3 two hour labs...and as a result grade everything for 72 kids and keep their total grades for BIO 101...hold office hours, grade papers, etc... I am looking for fellowships to apply for, but they all want someone who is early in graduate study (since I have a MS, I have too much "experiece" for those that I keep finding). Oh well, a few years and I will be in the real world. Hi Sabina! How is Johns Hopkins going? I am going to work with Drosophila, characterizing the protein PEZ.
