work, my work, and working

Things to do today:

1) deposit pay check. I got travel funding to do research, but only under the condition that I actually spend the money first. I said I would be happy to do this if I could get reimbursed within two weeks(because by then I would run out of money). It has been three weeks, going on four. For their part, the administrators are trying their best to get this done. I got out of the month ok, but I might be a bit overdrawn.

2) meet with a student. There is a huge paper due tomorrow, and a student would like to meet with me. I am hoping that it is something more substantial than, “what should I write about?”, given the due date.

3) prep for section. I should be doing this now.

4) run two sections, back to back. It is a little tiring, but it isn’t like I am teaching and grading three or four courses a quarter, so I’m not complaining. Also, having all of my teaching in one day is kinda nice, since I have the rest of the week after that.

5) continue to look for state and county (and city!) documents pertaining to social welfare in Los Angeles from 1890-1920. This one will take me the better part of the summer, a few research trips, and a larger portion of my soul.

 

This week, I begin working full time at the hotel again, which is great for money, but not so great for…well, almost anything else.
