Tomorrow I am (finally) piloting my Study 2. Luckily, Study 2 is a small study. I'm going to have 10-12 teachers in to do a few tasks. Tomorrow, however, I'm doing a dry run with some of my former master's students. I have everything printed out and all the food ready to go. (My former students were kind enough to do this for me in exchange ( Read more... )

Quick update: Congrats to the Flyers for making it to the second round of the playoffs. Also, BMM is planning to visit me in SD for the first time in about a month. (I've only been living here for 5 years now ( Read more... )

As usual, my friends all crapped out (except Victoria, who said to let her know if anything was going on). Even my roommates couldn't do anything then.

The last post was true, but I should give it some context. I was asked to resign as a GA so I could be hired by the same department as a TA. It was just a formality and I felt I'd go out with a bang. However, when I forwarded the message on to Big Momma (who I thought knew about this stupid bit of bureaucracy), she got very upset. She thought I ( Read more... )

Today, I was forced to resign from my job. I never had to do this before and I hopefully will never have to do it again. Below is the actual letter I sent to the College of Education.
