I knew I should have stopped this whole TA business while I was ahead. I'll keep doing it this semester because I'm a nice guy, but I'm definitely done after this semester. What has me upset? Well, it was announced during the lecture for the class I'm TAing for that I will be videotaping the student's practice presentations for them on Saturdays. This time announcement came as a surprise to me, and not a very pleasant one. So now for the next 6 weeks or so I'll be spending three hours every Saturday on campus videotaping presentations. This has pretty much killed any plans I had to get out of St. Louis anytime before Fall break, and I'm not too happy about it. I wouldn't have minded Friday or Sunday too much and Monday would have been perfect, but Saturday is just a really bad day for this. I think I might have to talk with the professor about this. The students didn't seem to mind meeting on Saturday, but they're only giving up 30 minutes on one Saturday. I'm giving up 3 hours on every Saturday. I wish I'd been consulted before this was announced to the class.
