It’s not even noon and I’ve run out of work to do. I had a big stack of folders on my desk to use for making students’ schedules, and I’ve gone through all of them already. I guess this means it’s time to cross stitch and read web comics since I didn’t bring anything else in with me. I didn’t expect to be done so soon. This makes me wonder about the rest of the office. If I can get all this Continue reading →

Well, Heather and I are working on a lot of random projects at the moment. Project number one is about a list of students who supposedly are capable of registering for fall but haven’t yet. We just spent the past half hour looking up students’ holds to see if they actually can’t register for the fall. Out of the 92 OP students, we split the list up (30/31/31), and out of my 31, 25 had holds of Continue reading →

My meeting with Keri was coolness incarnate. I’m really excited about getting to teach French this fall even if the chances are that it’ll kill me physically and mentally. I mean, teaching four classes in a day with practically no break is going to be rough, but the grading will be just as insane. No wonder Tony was always tricking me into grading assignments for him. He figured out that I have Continue reading →

In about a half an hour, I’ll be talking to Dr. Dunbar and Keri about the adjunct position this fall. Filling out forms, handing in my résumé, maybe trying to come up with contacts or references (I can use about half the university as references, honestly), and getting all the books and syllabi. You know, tons of stuff. I still haven’t decided if I’m coming back to the office afterwards or not, and Continue reading →

The lack of moving air and lack of sunlight is really getting to my system. I left work yesterday afternoon with a massive headache, nausea and drowsiness. I ended up taking a nap, which I was rather hoping to avoid because it messes up my already-stupid sleep schedule. The nap helped though, but I bet being in a place with circulating air and windows helped more. When I visited a Continue reading →

I’m typing at Heather’s desk which is driving me a little insane because I don’t like touching other people’s computers, so I’ll try to be brief (haha, like I can do that). At any rate, this week has been hell. I’ll try to go through most of it, but honestly, the days seem smashed together and blurred now that I think back on them, so who knows if I get days/facts straight. Then again, this is Continue reading →

Before I get creamed here at work (as in “flattened,” not in the pr0n sense, thank you, you perverts), I wanted to post really quick. They’re having a meeting for all the teachers of University 101, and since Heather and I are not coming back in the fall and therefore not teaching Univ 101, we’ll be the only advisors not attending. That leaves us to handle all OP and AOP students. Continue reading →

Ahahahahahaha, I can’t stop laughing about today’s in-class study session. What makes it even funnier is that I was so busy this morning replying to e-mails that I forgot to print off a copy of the study guide to bring to class! Hahahahaha! So instead of going off the study guide and since no one else remembered to print it off or to bring it, I just ran through the syllabus and gave a brief Continue reading →

Today, my class is giving their group presentations. It’s our last official class until the final next Wednesday at 8 (in the goddamned morning). So far, I know a few of the topics are as follows: shark attacks, a football player, and working at Walt Disney World. It should be an interesting morning. It will be more interesting if my stomach bottoms out like it’s threatening to. Stupid Continue reading →

Every other advisor on the floor left a little before one to go to some teleconferencing thing in the Union, so it’s just me and Heather all afternoon with all the students who need schedules. So far since 12:30, we haven’t seen anyone, but Heather’s sending an e-mail back to a student about advising as I type. It was actually all her typing that made me want to type, so I put the cross Continue reading →
