So I guess Blackberries are magic or something? Because I put my school e-mail into the phone and it magically can check it somehow, even though it’s some crazy silly proprietary system. Not that I mind that it’s crazy magic and working.
\nIn any case, now I get my e-mails about all the work associated with my TA position beamed straight to my phone!<\/p>\n
I feel so professional.<\/p>\n
This is just one in a constant string of things that make me feel professional. First it was the office, totally, and then it was just how I was being treated in class. My students still don’t have a thing to call me that I don’t dislike, but it’s just kind of a thrill to be treated as someone with the knowledge and know-how by such a sizable group. And now it’s this kind of thing, where I’m responding to students in real time and stuff, going all Crackberry like an executive or something…<\/p>\n
I’ve never really felt more legit than this before. It’s just nice to have that. I mean, I knew I was good enough. I knew I was that good. I didn’t really question it. But it’s one thing to know, and it’s another thing to feel like you’re being constantly recognized for it, and to be treated as an equal, if one who’s still getting experience, rather than a cog in a wheel.<\/p>\n
I think I might have said it before. But still.
\nI could really get used to this.
\nI really could.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
