i want to hold you, i want to kiss, but i ain't got time for that now
so. graduate school is eating me alive. it was all shiny-shiny the first three weeks, all 'look at me, i'm a grad student, i'm awesome. and i can complain about how poor i am and laugh about it, and talk about research like i know what i'm talking about and stuff.' that was pretty exciting business, hey.
but that was before assignments started coming due, and heh, yeah.
"and then you found out it was actually work, and that really bummed you out." well, basically.
i am still really, really enjoying being a TA. i TA a grammar class for unsheltered ESL students. it's like post-ESL, i guess sort of. anyway, i have students! and that is always awesome. i hope (and am kind of banking on) that that will always be awesome for me. so far so good. but i'm supposed to come up with a lesson plan this weekend and teach the class sometime next week or the week after. that's, uh, a little frightening. (and this is right after midterms week, so i'm all zombie now.)
and it looks like the rest of the semester is pretty insane. i really, really need to start doing research for my term papers. or at least select topics, jeez.
also: simin's fiance arrived yesterday from Ethiopia. yeah. yeah, he's here. he's living in our house. he's real. they're getting married in LESS THAN A MONTH. it's all craziness.
and i don't have any time to hang out with him or anything.
and i don't even have a suit for the wedding. i'm going to be in the wedding. and i'm wearing a suit? what's the world coming to...
i think my life and my super-powers are locked in an epic struggle, and i don't know which will win... (who's even supposed to win that one?)
