FBI says that we shouldn’t open e-mail attachments from them.

well, I’m not worried. I don’t answer their signals directly to my fillings either. Or to my aluminum foil hat. Or to the static on my tv stations.

FBI, if you want to get a hold of me, you’ll have to do what everyone else does…don’t.

Apparently in one of our classes, some jackass complained to the department chair about the teacher letting us out early and not teaching us anything. Which is kinda silly…and when I find out WHO it was, there’s going to be some troubles…

So today in class, we get assigned eight 4-5 page essays to read by next week, with a half page response written for each of them, in addition to reading all the poets we can out of a book and finding one we want to write a full report on. And the same amount of workload next week, through the end of the semester.

what…the….@#$*?

if this were the only class I would have, I wouldn’t have a problem with it, but c’mon. Not even V. Woolf class is so bizzarely full of work. I know that 2 of my classmates are dropping automatically. I would love to do that, as I can’t handle this much busy work for my classes. But I can’t. At least until I find out about next year. Regardless, I need to talk to the teacher and let her know that this amount of work is insane.

Also, there is an issue about having a 2 and a half hour class where there is no break, and no eating in class. Someone actually got yelled at for eating an apple today in class, and she wasn’t particularily loud about it. I can deal with the no eating, but the lack of a break is kind of ridiculous…especially in those desks.

’s just a bizzarre reaction to getting talked to by the department chair. I wonder why she even puts up with that. Of course, it doesn’t help when some uppity up is actively looking for grad students who may have a problem with the class, and who may want to complain. This school is as messed up as my job. I want out.

the more I think of it, especially now that it is a reality that I’ve applied, the more that I’m just a touch worried that they’re going to try and force me into a different GA position. I know of 4 applicants to the 4 or 5 positions that MAY or MAY NOT be open(I’m guessing it’ll average out to 4), but I also know how much a certain teacher and I don’t really mesh well.

I am also aware of the fact that having to leave 3 times in a semester, leaving half a week off for the classes each time will probably weigh against me.

I am also aware of the fact that others applying may be just as qualified(if not more so, because they don’t need to leave once a month).

Regardless. A few more weeks of waiting and then I’ll either have to go with Plan A: Getting the Job, or move to Plan B:Graduating in June and going to teach at a community college elsewhere. And I do mean elsewhere. If Plan B is picked, I have no real wishes or wants to go somewhere. If someone needs a friend to move somewhere with them just so they can handle the big city(and the big city rent) better, I’m so totally there. I think the idea is anywhere but here.

And Plan B is picked even if they offer me a different GA(such as publishing if that one opens up, or some GA in the library or something equally unhelpful to my future goals). Not to sound like a prick or anything, but getting those types of GA’s when I’ve got one semester to go is NOT HELPFUL. And I would probably tell BSU to throw themselves in the lake. Perhaps using those exact terms. And get my diploma and high tail it out of here.

But really…who knows?
