FUN!
This is my favorite pictures. Molly is blowing wonderful things at the world, Liz is loopy dancing dreamy staring off into space, and I'm kind of creepy evil. There it is.
One of my students asked me which class I would be TAing next time, I think because he wanted me again. Another one said he learned a lot from me, unlike his math TA who is 'boring and stupid.' And they think I'm cool! So I feel like I am a success!
I think I found someone in Boston that I want to study under. She does phil of physics but is also very interested in religion. And she is young, and has published a lot, and BU is a good school for what I want to do. I don't know if I should contact her. I know it is standard in physics, but I am not sure about philosophy. And it would be bad if I wrote her and she wrote me back, who the hell do you think you are, I don't have time for this! So I'll wait, I've got time anyway. I think.

she wouldn't respond to you if she thought you were stupid. go ahead and do it. they told us when looking at grad schools it was good to make contact with the profs. it may also give you an edge if she is on the selection comittee, or better yet, if you want to specificially study under her. come on, i'm sure it would be flattering to have students persue you b/c they think you are brilliant.
i feel smarter when you back up my thoughts.... as long as i get credit for it. otherwise i feel like no one listens to me and ideas are only good if they come out of someone else's mouth.
you know what i mean. ... like when you say something in a group and no one responds but then a few minutes later someone says the same thing and every one goes "yeah". it's like feeling invisible.
it is a little different online. but i still feel cooler when someone agrees with me.
