New semester, even crazier schedule
So, I found out from my two partners for the group project which was responsible for my A-, that it was responsible for them failing the course (also, apparently, B- is failing the course. Who knew?). So I guess I can't really bitch all that much, although I do feel vindicated. Slightly. Just a little.
I had an interesting conversation with one of my professors. It went a little something like this:
Me: I have a project idea. Blahblahblah, how does that sound?
Prof: Wow, that seems like a lot of work.
Me: I'm OK with that.
Prof: I don't think anyone's ever done that before.
Me: Great!
Prof: *funny look* Well, you'll have a hard time finding secondary sources. I don't think there would be any.
Me: So I'll be the first to do something. Terrific!
Prof: No, you're required to have secondary sources.
Me: *blink*
Prof: If you don't have secondary sources, find another topic.
Me: ... So when do I get to do something original?
Prof: I don't know.
Me: *promptly drops class*
So my current schedule is as follows:
Monday: 8am - 1:30pm - classes I'm TAing and office hours; 2-5pm - work.
Tuesday: 9-12 - work, 1:30-9 classes (DAY OF DEATH)
Wednesday: 8-9 - class I'm TAing, 10-1 - work, 5-9 class
Thursday: same as Monday
Friday: 9-12 work
At this point (1 week into semester), I have no time to do anything, and I have yet to do ANY homework OR grading (schedule above doesn't include approx. 2.5hrs of commuting per day).
7 weeks till Spring Break, when I can catch up on reading/homework and do all my projects, etc.
Also, yesterday, I gave a lecture, mostly about marijuana. Why? I dunno. Sometimes I do things.
