Wow! ^^; I can imagine that those jobs would get taken faster than hot cakes!
I was really lucky. I tried for an opportunity to work abroad in China but I didn't get accepted. I was going to apply for Google's Summer of Code, but I couldn't find a topic to submit and it was a hellish week to do an application (3+ exams and projects due and...).

Are you with him in some of the pictures? O:

@Popcorn: Well, it involves listening to music, learning about history, putting the two together and drawing conclusions about what caused what, how we use music today -- there's as much sociology in the study as there is history and analysis.

Especially this week when I have been having problems getting out of bed! DX

I'm going to google him to be nosey then. xD

edit: oh you posted it!

cute (:

@Milady: DNA testing is so cool. One of my distant relations tested his and found out that we can trace our roots back to Mesopotamia. o.O

Wow! That's so cool! XD

You look like a lovely couple. (:

Indeed you guys do! :)

@Milady: Cute kid! (Though I think I'm biased by the fact that he's standing someplace where it's obviously very cold.)

Hey, demo! How have you been?

O heya Anime!
I've been good. I'm just keepin an eye on my spanner/gears count while sipping coffee and watching Coneheads. I love that movie... :lol:

How have you been? Good I hope.

Gotta go for my meeting! XP

Stupid computer getting old -- had to Force Quit both Firefox and the Dock, for some reason. I need a new laptop!

@demo: I've been okay. The quarter is finally winding down, though I did get a stack of 40 papers to grade by next Tuesday, and they have their final exam on Wednesday (3 short essays...), so it's a lot of grading to do in a short period of time. But my own writing obligations are now minimal, just one 8-page paper left, on Kiki's Delivery Service.

bye, Urbeth! See you later tonight, I hope?

Cya Urbeth.

That sucks, anime. Geez, you are stuffed with work.

Oh, compared with other quarters, this is minimal. In the fall quarter I had 60 students, and there were three essays, an essay+scantron midterm, and a longer essay+scantron final. LOADS of grading. Plus the two pop quizzes.

So this quarter, 40 essays to grade, is easy.

Oooh, you're an instructor! It all makes sense, now. :lol:

@demo: Well, I'm a Teaching Assistant. So I don't make up the exams or assignments, but I grade them and run Friday discussion sections to review and explain material in more depth.

Hmm, I guess you're still a pupil, in a way. :lol:
I used to wonder about what it would be like if I taught Art. It seemed interesting, but I hear that it takes a lot of work to get that kind of job as teacher.

Hewo peoples!
