office hours
dear friends,
today i write you from the freezing cold sociology-ta office at mcgill. it is my office hour. also known as an unfortunate waste of my time. you might wonder why no one comes to see me. i do. tommorow is the class midterm and they have a paper due. in the last 48 hours i have gotten approximately one gabillion emailed-questions. i have also met students outside of my office hours. apparently 11-12 on tuesdays is when there is a meeting of the too-cool-for-school society. so here i sit, blog, and freeze.
i am in this ph-d game because i want to teach. i do really enjoy it. and, i don't feel i have much of a choice. seeing as how it is a direct order from the big guy upstairs. but missisauga goddam i hate office hours. i did see one person today. she was a delight to assist. patently undelightful is explaining marx to girls who have glazed over expressions and are clearly thinking about the next purse they are going to buy. [not that i am anti-purse, i just got the most beautiful one, perhaps picture forthcoming. but i also know that marx isn't just about marks.]

Who's the big guy upstairs?
Your thesis advisor, yes?
big guy= god. supervisor= lady on the 7th floor (or now beaconsfield) who does not like social capital. i bet jesus loves social capital.
