Back to School for GrownUps

So…I am at home.

And very happy to be here too - in spite of the fact that I should be still in Peterborough so that I would be there for tomorrow morning’s TA meeting. 

We were planning to stay …. but I am sore and cranky and I just couldn’t stand the thought of hanging around the motel room all evening just to go to a one hour meeting tomorrow morning. 

I finish class at 2 on Thursdays. There is a tea that we could have gone to if I had been inclined to be at all sociable… and I suppose we would have gone out for dinner or whatever…  but I just wanted to come HOME. 

I really enjoy being a TA ….  although I DO much prefer it when my students actually SHOW UP (which far too many didn’t last night) … but the meetings ….blech.   If they had been on a day/time that I had other ~stuff~ it would not be so bad…. but they are scheduled for Fridays. So all year, I have either had to stay over Thursday nights, or drive back on Fridays.  An extra day (and $44 plus food) …or an extra 5+ hours on the road…. ick, ick, ick! 

Anyway…I found out that they hadn’t had a meeting last week, so I had not missed one…. so this week…. I’m being a bad grad student.
