I have been busy with meetings all week. This took up as much time as being at an MLA conference, which can take up the bulk of the day, even with a few breaks in between.
As part of my internship at City College, I attended several meetings/lectures on learning issues and syllabus preparation. I also went to a meeting put out by DSPS, the services for disabled students.
The workshop on WebCT was late one afternoon but it was fun to learn that system. I have also been learning how to use Blackboard, another online education system, this week because of my other job, which is working as a GA for a literature professor. She is going to deal with the lecture, which is over 200 students, and I have to deal with 60 of those students in two different discussion sections. I also had to go a meeting of the GA’s earlier this week.
A few of the meetings involved food. The English Department meeting did for sure. The adjunct meeting the next day did as well. So I as the starving student/intern got to eat some good food for free this week.
Since I work at City College’s English Writing Center in addition to all this good stuff and being a grad student, I went to that meeting this morning.
I’m really tired and I need to get this place cleaned up because I have the feeling there won’t be much time to do that this semester.
