Sections starting and a field day

Tomorrow my sections are starting and I slowly am getting more and more surrounded by past students, which is both a nice but also strange experience. I have a couple ULA’s in the class I’m now TA’ing that have been my students before, and even in my grad classes friends I’m making are past students of mine. I guess I’ve also been on the other end of this with R last year, and ngl that went pretty ass because of them so hey it is what it is lol.

I also did go to the engineering field day today, and to no ones surprise almost everyone in my dept was pretty antisocial. I’m proud of myself for pushing myself out of my shell and talking and starting conversations with everyone there. Our team placed dead last, without winning a SINGLE competition and I had so much fun. It was a blast.
