and thus it begins...
So. Here I am. In my office. With a pile of papers.
Oh god so many papers.
Yesterday was my first full day here at the lab. I know that logically, 9am is NOT that early. In fact, by most normal job standards, that is kinda late. My schedule is still stabilizing though... and I'm still sleeping kinda weird. I think it's because I am used to sleeping under my sheets and comforter, even in the summer, because of the A/C at my parent's house. But we don't keep the A/C on at our apartment, so it's too warm to sleep under everything. It's throwing me off.
Anyway, lab. Showed up shortly after 9. Talked to Matt. Got a pile of papers. Then I checked my email a lot. xD I am easily distracted while paper reading, have never been very good at it really. It's not that I'm not interested, it's just that papers are all really dense. And in general my attention is easily diverted. I will go through hours on end where I will sit and read intently... but it takes a special day to get there. (or a deadline lol). So now I have a stack about 10 papers high (average paper is 12-15 pages?) in front of me. I'm going to try and get through.... 2 today.
I have my syllabus for the class I am TAing. Also have one for one of my classes. I am excited and nervous at the same time. I feel very.. unprepared for teaching in general. And it's intimidating looking at the 3Cs students and being like, oh they all are my age... and probably know more straight marine stuff than me. *deep breath*
Anyway. Apartment is awesome. (we had a watermelon "incident" last night. I will not be eating watermelon... for a while I think). I took pictures while driving to the lab yesterday morning, so I will try to post those tonight for you all to be jealous of where I get to work. =P Apartment pics... still coming. I need to figure out how I'm going to hang my poster frames.. plus I need to buy another couple for some smaller things. Also I don't own a hammer? How silly.
I took a couple NOH8 style pictures for a project over on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
ontd_ai. I am going to try and post a few of my faves on here too. If you have me friended on facebook, you've already seen one of them. :D It was fun, even if it took a while to wash the marker off my face afterwards. lol.
omg providence american idol show is this weekend. I keep getting this one floor ticket to pop up on ticket master, but it's 12th row way over on the right of the first section. Which is.. not ideal. *sigh*
Okay back to reading.....
