I bitched and bitched and bitched about UA.

And somehow, I won their hearts.

And now I've committed to going there for my Ph.D.

I haven't calculated the exact number, but I think I've graded over 2000 pages of Freshman Composition papers in just 3 months. I've grown to love this job, but the grading part...my God, I hate it.

I've justified this action by telling myself that 3 or 4 weeks of studying will ultimately affect my future more than a few weeks of mediocre teaching, but ( Read more... )
