pursuit, research

1 comment

so since jan 2009 i have submitted a total of 3 papers to conferences.  i found out on friday that one of them got accepted as a poster.  this is the first thing out of my thesis.  needless to say i was pretty excited.  just when i thought this was going to be a slow week (had the most unproductive day yesterday) i got another acceptance today from one of the biggest conferences in my field.  i’m so hype!!!!  the paper was definitely not something i thought i would be writint on, not to mention it took me FOREVER and basically spoiled my semester break with all of it’s rewrites and proofreads.  so i’m 2 for 3 at the moment, even though i haven’t heard one way or the other for the 3rd submission.  looks like things are looking up in the research arena. 

now, if only i can get a research model down on paper that actually makes sense…..this is my next goal.

what i’ve learned so far this semester…

yum...

yum...

1.that some students, no matter what, will just be lazy

2. that not everyone can be helped (refer to #1)

3. there are some students who are going through some extremely difficul personal problems and yet they come to my class like everything is just fine.

4. i really enjoying being a TA…hmmm, could this mean I’ll like being an actual prof?

5. i will more than likely get a chance to be an actual prof next fall

6. i’m addicted to the internet (there i said it!)

7. sometimes after reading a stack of articles, i have NO IDEA what i just read and must fake it in class later (fyi…everyone does this)

8. i am and can be remarkable! i just need to take the few moments a day to prove this.

9. most importantly, no matter how many caffinated drinks i consumer, i’m still sleepy and rundown. *sigh* must do better

this semester, no surprise, has been crazy busy.  i have to post entries on a blog for class, and start my own.  so needless to say, once i do these entries, i’m at a lost for what to say on DP.  so in the future, don’t be surprised if i use the same entries from those two blogs for this one.  it’s weke 5 and it seems like the semester won’t slow down at all.  let’s just say i can’t wait for spring break…..
