Contrary to some of my previous academic planning, I’ve decided to get out of political economy (and political sciences in general) and diversify my academic portfolio even more. The Academic Fair was today, 4-6pm, so I wandered around and picked up program syllabi for The Novel: Life and Form with Thad Curtz and Changing Minds, Changing Course with Virginia Hill. I had previously been considering 500 Years of Globalization with Jeanne Hahn, but I think that’s a little much for me.

Right now, I think my primary choice is The Novel: Life and Form, with Changing Minds, Changing Course as a close second. This might switch as my registration time ticket gets nearer and I start looking back at some of my other work.

Amanda and me attended one of the Writing Center’s Self Evaluation workshops tonight. I went because I wanted to review and get hints of what to tell students when I see them for evaluations; Amanda went because she needed to know how to do evaluations in the first place. I think both of us got something out of it.

Only four class days remaining (12/2, 12/7-12/9), plus evaluations, plus a few days of work (at minimum Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, with the possibility–at this point, likelihood–of additional hours during evaluation week).
