Teaching Assistant

I received a delightful little bit of news through e-mail today: in addition to assisting my advisor with his research, I'll be a T.A. for his Human Variation course! I'm not sure exactly what my duties will be yet. This came as a surprise to me because I didn't think they gave T.A. positions to brand new graduate students. It's not completely random though, as I just took a course at UNCW in human biological variation this past spring. I'm starting to see any free time I will have in Florida slowly slip away but it's not necessarily a bad thing.

Today is my last in Wilmington before I leave to go home for a week and a half to hang out with my parents, see my grandfather (who just had bypass surgery and is doing well), and otherwise say goodbye to the state of North Carolina, at least for the time being. I leave for Tampa next Friday. Hard to believe it's already here.
