nickelsandcoatsIf not, go vote!
I only had to wait about 10 minutes in line for the polls today, which is awesome.
Still need to make final determinations of where I'm applying and get a list of addresses to my letter writers. Now thinking of applying at Marquette, U of Wisconsin, U of Indiana-Bloomington, and a few others.
Lots of the first year TAs have been coming to my ENG 101 class and observing me teach. I get glowing reviews from them, but it's still nerve-wracking and kinda scary, especially since these reviews go to my boss. What's even scarier is that it was only two! TWO! years ago that I was doing those exact same observations. I feel all grown up now.
Quarter's almost over--hallelujah! I will never teach 5 classes at once again. The sheer amount of grading I've done this quarter is mind-boggling.
And as for the DW news, I'm still a bit in denial. But, I think, everything will be fine in the end.
For a fun question: on Ravelry's Doctor Who group, there's a meme going around:
Things you've learned from Doctor Who.
So, my fellow Whovians, what have you learned from Doctor Who? Pass it on!
I have learned that impossible is just a word, not a finality. I've also learned never to give up hope, even when everything seems impossible.
