It's at moments like these when I really love TAing and discover that what I do is actually worthwhile to someone. There are some students who come in when they're failing the class and are desperately attempting to bail their grades for the least amount of work possible, and then there are the students who come in on a semi-regular basis who are actually capable of thinking and want me to actually help them develop their ideas. And they actually think that I know what I'm talking about! Seriously, I can't remember the names of all of the factory managers in Germinal after having read it nearly three years ago. Plus, the people who teach the class are tremendously understanding and helpful; hopefully I can get one of them to write my college recommendation next year. I'm pretty sure that I'll TA this class again next year and meet up with the kids that I TAed in French last year. That would be fun.
Food is a very good bribe, too, I must confess. And I've reviewed about 150 years of American history this weekend and am starting to have weird images of presidents dancing around a continental map of the US.
And I need to start studying for my AP French language exam tomorrow. Oh yeah, that...
