Well, we're in the thick of it already, but I don't feel like I've hit my stride. I am going to be very busy this semester. I planned my own syllabus (unlike last year's required, canned regurgitation), so I'll be much more vested in the class. I know that I'll be getting two assignments on Friday that I want to have graded by Monday--this from the girl who was that horrible teacher that kept papers for over a month before returning them last semester.
I'm slightly cowed by the syllabus I got tonight. I just don't feel smart enough to accomplish the tasks to the high level of achievement needed to impress. I don't doubt that I can get them done, but heck, so far I'm shooting for the PhD 4.0.
With all that, I'm partially in charge of the English graduate student organization and the mentor program for new teaching interns. That's lots of doings at this point. There's a mentor party on Friday and an EGSA dinner on Sunday.
I feel like my weekends are already full, what with two conferences in October that will each take three-four days out of my time. Not that I would turn down the chance to build my CV.
So...deep breath...here we go.

I like this blog - what template is used? Thanks from a Clothing Accessory info site.
Wow, I don't know if I can post a comment after you got all those anonymous people to post. No one but you and Eden post on mine. It sounds like you'll be very busy this semester, but yet everything always seems to get done at some point or another.
