Back to Work

Arriving back at WashU after spending Saturday at home, I quickly remembered that

1. I am a TA

2. I do in fact have homework on weekends, despite their being followed by a light Monday

3. I can't turn down anyone asking for help

And all of those are good things, even though they frequently lead to my being up at 3 am, as they did today. When I have people all around me, on- and off-line, asking for help on physics and computer science, and I know how to answer all of their questions, I feel good and I feel like I'm where I need to be. I sometimes (often) feel like I don't have the service or leadership credentials expected of me as a Danforth scholar, or perhaps as a good person in general, so it's reassuring to know the academic help I can provide is still valued.

I also recorded a song for KWUR Theater of Air today. It was my first time in a recording studio and it was kind of cool to experience, even though it took a long time and by the end I could barely get through my part because my lips were so tired. It has certainly been a while since I was in marching band. But, as I realized later in disappointment, I didn't think to take any pictures there, which means I have once again reached the end of the day with the challenge of finding something in the limited space of my dorm room to summarize it. I considered taking a picture of mystery girl when she was here today, but then thought that might be a little creepy.
