Another writing group meeting and fun with TAing

[ilex_cassine]

I feel a bit better after having attended the meeting this week. It was therapy not productive but useful nonetheless. We all admitted that usually we are so panic ridden about whatever it is we are doing (academicly) that it takes twice as long as it should and its really hard to get started. And that our "frozen" state extends to other aspects of life as well. And that this seems to be a nearly universal condition amongst graduate students. What the hell is going on here? Why are we beside ourselves with anxiety about our work? We also all agreed that it was unique to grad school and that in work situations we functioned much better with equal work load. So it is a "grad school thing." I don't get it and neither did anyone else.

I probably shouldn't write about what a horrible TA I was this week. Hardy-Weinburg can kiss my ass. If I don't write about it I can forget about it so I'm not gonna.
