Teaching - Satisfactory +

Well I've been really busy with my first week as a Teaching Assistant for an intro course. It's actually been pretty fun. It can be so much more satisfying to teach than to do research! It's nice to show or guide someone through something and have them have that "Aha!" moment rather than to sit for hours at my computer re-sorting data or something.

Not that I don't love research. I love it (hear that, dissertation committee?). It's been a nice review and a nice break. The students are actually much more polite and interested than I expected. Give them another week to bare their monstrous selves, right?

It has restored my faith in undergrads!
