OK... so I know I jump into judgments, and change my mind, a lot. And I know the semester is only 1/3 over... so maybe I'm wrong. But I love teaching. I love it.
I love grading quizzes.
I love answering questions after class.
I love going through examples.
I love explaining stuff my students dont understand.
I love it when I get the whole room to laugh.
I love it that I'm heart-broken when someones gets a bad quiz grade.
I love laughing when someone uses a dumb example for short questions on quizzes.
I love losing sleep over class stuff.
I know I'm not the best TA ever, but I'm getting better, and its my first semester,
and I know being a TA isn't the same as being a TF or a Prof, but it IS teaching, and...
and maybe I can be good at it.

P.S. For all you midwesterners, I'm only two and a half months away!!
