Sections

As graduate students continue through the system, we seem to get more responsibility piled upon us.  This quarter's latest is teaching 2 sections of Intro to American Politics.  The classes vary in their interest and engagement just as students vary in their interest and engagement.

One nice thing about the new experience is that it has led me to parts of campus that I haven't explored before.  I'm no longer just moving between third floor and the first floor of our building but instead traveling to Revelle and Warren and to tiny classrooms that I didn't know existed.  And while it's not Europe or Israel or Egypt or any of the exotic places that some friends have visited recently, there are some nice views if you stop to look around.
