By the time you get back we’ll have them all worked out, though.<BR/><BR/>I’m betting that your paper is as good as you think it might be and I wouldn’t worry about the Final too much. You either know it or you don’t and worrying about it doesn’t help one little bit. I’ve gone into Finals knowing everything and falling flat on my face while other times going in scared to death and coming out as a living god. Sometimes it’s just the luck of the draw.<BR/><BR/>As for your TA, though, you really need to advise the prof about her shortcomings. That’s an obligation of every student and most classes even give you forms so you can relay an assessment of the class to the prof so they know what works and what doesn’t. Even if they don’t offer such an opportunity to you, you need to let him know one way or the other. The prof needs to know that the person he hired to stand in for him in the smaller classes isn’t representing him in the way he needs.<BR/><BR/>You have a short time left back east, Jared, so you need to take care of business and get down to having a good time before you leave. Leave Ithaca with nothing but happy thoughts and dirty clothes for your Mom.<BR/><BR/>Talk to us when you get back and we definitely want to see those photos.Don Gosneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17110247579694408858noreply@blogger.com
