Bummed

I guess I only update when I'm kinda bummed.

Before this semester started, I was basically promised that I'd be teaching at least one lecture class this summer, to the tune of $2000 for a five week session. I was so psyched about teaching five days a week, about having that kind of control over a the way a class is conducted. I really enjoy teaching.

So I've been waiting and waiting and waiting to find out which semester I'd be teaching in, or maybe if I'd be teaching during both. I just now got an email saying that I won't be teaching any lecture classes, but they still want to offer me an assistantship for the first part of the summer, to the tune of a little over $1000.

I'm majorly disappointed. I was so excited... it was such a great opportunity to teach and the money would have been great. It would have been like a "big girl job" as Hilly said.

I guess I'll feel better about it tomorrow. Right now though, I feel pretty sucky.

And there are loud people here, watching a movie much more loudly than is necessary. I wonder if they would be offended if I just stayed to myself in here.

Have I really become so anti-social (not in the serial killer sense)?

Mwrar. Maybe it's time to have a cry.
