One week into this new semester, I was offered a job that I had been hoping to get as an IA for the Graphics 217-218 class. I was pretty excited about it, because not only would it give me tuition credits for this semester and severely cut down on the amount of student loans I would have to borrow, it would also give me an opportunity to test my teaching skills: something that I'm interested in pursuing.
I have since taught two classes and have really, really enjoyed it. It's just as beneficial for me as it is for the students, as I just learned a lot of the graphic design software and theology over the summer. It's been a lot of fun though, and I could definitely see myself doing something like this in the future.
Outside of school and work, Tara and I have both been having a lot of fun. I got to cover thy home-opener for Syracuse football. It was really cool to see a football game in a dome, though I definitely missed Romney Stadium and Aggie football games. We've also been hanging out with our neighbor Terry and his girlfriend Lauren. Terry is from Barbados and is a grad student as well, and Lauren is from Syracuse and an undergrad. They are both in the Civil Engineering program, dedicated students and very smart. We had them over for dinner the other night though, played Wii and watched some Office.
There's been a whole lot more going on, such as pick-up football games, craigslist treasures and giving BYU fans a hard time, but I always seem to write a novel so I'll stop short there. Night!
