I met Sarah Jarosz tonight after her show. Yes she is awesome, and yes I am a nerd.

Wooo!

I’m going to be a Woo! girl for a second:

This morning, I presented the lecture I’m giving to my undergrads on Friday, to the professor for whom I TA - and she deemed it “phenomenal,” even saying she “couldn’t have done better” herself.

She added that several of my students have raved about me to her.

And she said that she thinks I really am a natural at this (teaching, working with students, crafting cohesive informative lectures, etc.).

Day made.

(Now to be productive with my own work this afternoon - and then dinner at Butcher & Burger and beers with friends after!)

Shit New Yorkers Say

“All I’ve eaten today is a bagel!” 

“You have to go to Brooklyn, it’s the law!”

(Haven’t seen many of these, but enjoyed this one of course.)

“All I’ve eaten today is a bagel.” “Ugh, all I’ve eaten today is a bagel.” “Mmmmmm. Bagel.”

Foucault and his kitty (obviously a black kitty).

Might as well stick a little Foucault in there, just to adhere to the academic tradition.
