Behind the 8 ball

Way behind the 8 ball...
Working on creating a syllabus on contemporary American Indians, might be an Anthro GTA position in it for me (if not, then it will be for a class assignment).

Also trying to finish all my grading and lesson planning.

On the verge of a breakdown...

This pretty much sums it up...

"The Newbies: ABD or the ink is still wet on their Ph.D. Trying to get their foot in the door. How can someone so young look so tired and hopeless?"

You can say you know someone....

...that has swine flu! Well that is what it seems to be... I have all the symptoms except fever. But evidently some cases don't produce fevers. Thank the lard (get it swine...) I had it over the weekend. I don't think that I'll have to miss any classes.

100%

I am happy to report that I got a 100 on my first exam as a PhD student... a map test of Mexico... so it is kinda cheating, but I'm taking it where I can get it!

Another test tomorrow (so naturally I'm creating a blog post) on the historical timeline of US/Mexican relations... again kinda cheating since I JUST taught this class (thanks to TH and AE).

TM's parents were here this weekend so I am kinda behind. Also to do:

• Read for Teaching Anthropology
• Create list of teaching tips for Teaching Anthropology
• Participate in Blackboard discussion for Teaching Spanish
• Create first reflective blog entry for Teaching Spanish
• Read for Teaching Spanish
• Take reading Quiz for Teacing Spanish
• Create a lesson plan for when I ACTUALLY teach Spanish

Might be time for a red ball:
