disgruntled grad feels more…gruntled?

Well, although the headline sounds rather indecisive, undecided, ambiguos, confused, equivocal, etc…this isn’t really about that. It is about pure chance, and how pure chance is amazing!!!

It turns out that this quarter, I was asked to TA for an English course that covered material from Beowulf to Milton, which is highly out of the ordinary that someone without their master’s degree gets to do so, but it happened…and I am happy.

But just think of the elation I felt when I was asked to TA the rest of the sequence–English 22 and 23!!! Yes, due to sheer chance! I was speaking with one of my professors about exactly that–and he said that I shouldn’t feel guilty about what happened given that nobody was hurt by it…

So it turns out that things exciting do happen in graduate school after all!
