Walking down the street this afternoon, I did a double take, thinking: Is that Brandon Sanderson?  A quick check confirmed that he and I are both in NYC this weekend, by complete coincidence.  So that was fun.

WHAT

THAT'S SO AWESOME

JEALOUS!

I have acquired a new bookshelf!  It's very large (almost six and a half feet tall, three and a half feet wide), which is great, because I have kind of reached critical mass on my current bookshelves (currently have no way to fit The Lost Metal with the rest of the Mistborn books, everything is so full up), and I got the thing for cheap, because there was a sale!

And I'm actually kind of doing okay mentally, which is good.  A really low bar, yeah, but I'm clearing it, which is better than how I spend... a lot of time.  I actually feel like I'm living, not just surviving, and it feels good.

Met one of my former students by chance last week, on my birthday.

She thanked me for getting her to an A- and said I was one of the best TAs she had, probably because I really focused on trying to get my undergrads to do well in the exams. My teaching philosophy...isn't really the best, but I generally aim to help as many students pass as I can, because the module I teach, students largely don't take it out of passion, they take it to fulfill requirements so I don't see my job as being the 'cool' or 'fun' guy even though we do have fun/funny classes. I spend a lot of time drilling them in concepts and clearing up areas where students usually get confused, so they'll get good grades on the final exams.

I think she underestimates how much work she put to get that A-, but I'm glad she remembers me, and that she has a positive memory of the class :)

I did my job well. Peace :)
