So now I technically have three jobs ... (oops)
- SI leader
- Research Assistant, Electronic Structure lab (they're supposedly paying me this semester!)
- MATH 126 grader

The math department has decided I'm trustworthy enough to grade homework for a Calculus II class. What were they thinking?!

I've had a lovely break so far: not too cold, not too quiet, but not too busy either. Tonight consisted of Friendly's, a lively debate at the Curley's, and a stop at my house to watch Chicken Run. I've seen more movies in the past week than I saw all semester. I hope Christine's surgery went smoothly so that she can have a merry Christmas at ( Read more... )

  Extra funding granted.

I'm pretty confident that the professor doesn't, either. Hence, I don't feel bad consulting proofs in other textbooks. Where's the competency ( Read more... )

I have completed moving. More or less. I''ll put my address, number, etc. in my AIM profile (still kinda uneasy about addresses in Livejournal). A lot of stuff is still packed in my apartment, but I'll be getting around to the rest of it by the end of the week. Still have yet to meet one of my roommates, but the other is a German exchange ( Read more... )

So, I opened Pandora's Box earlier this afternoon. It had to be done ( Read more... )
