March's thoughts...

So, I'm bored. I guess I'll write in this thing again. I'm still in grad school...but right now I'm doing an independent study. This is not an easy thing, mainly cause you have to motivate yourself. I'm already so busy with work that when I get home, the last thing I want to do is sit down and read more stuff. I foresee some very busy weeks in the near future as I try and get this completed.
Oh, I taught my first course this semester, or rather, I TA'd my first course. This means that I got to set up all the lessons online and run the course and do all the grading. Sadly, I have about 23 students who are going to fail the course. Thats 23 of about 93 total. Oh well, if you don't do the work, ya don't get the grade. Being a TA is fun, and I've really enjoyed it. I like teaching this stuff. Someday, hopefully before too long, I'm gonna actually have my own class, and not be a TA anymore. (gotta finish this pesky independent study first though!)
In other news with the arrival of warmer weather, I've started running again. Yesterday I ran a 5K. Ya know, they call it a 5K race, but really, I'm not racing anyone. I've not run very much during the winter, and that 5K yesterday was about all I could handle. I think I'll probably start running a lot more in the coming days. I feel like I gained some weight over the past few months, so I'm gonna work on getting back down to where I need to be. I just need to figure out where that is. Anyways, I guess I close this one out for now...
