Friday, January 9, 2009 @ 12:30 am I got an e-mail from the graduate coordinator this morning asking me if I'd be willing to teach a section of General Microbiology instead of Principles of CMB, although I didn't even apply for that position. Turns out that she's about to offer the position to someone with less microbiology training that I had, and she thought it would be better if I taught the course instead. I spent the entire day torn deciding between the Gen. Micro. position and the Principles of CMB position before ultimately settling on what I had originally applied for. I just e-mailed the coordinator back--after about 14 hours of mulling it over--respectfully declining her offer to teach a class at a higher level. It's true that I got an "A" in the micro course I took, and I understand her hesitance at giving the assignment to someone who might not be qualified, but in the end, I thought about how I would feel as a teacher. If I'm not comfortable teaching the material, then I shouldn't expect my students to be comfortable learning it from me. I realize that by declining the offer to teach Gen. Micro., I may have damned those students who will end up enrolling in that particular lab section, but I have to do what I feel is right for me. It all came down to the fact that I think I would be such an amazing instructor for Principles of CMB... well, at least a competent one. I should get to bed. I didn't make it out to Stanford like I wanted to, and my trip to NASA got postponed to Though, given the choice between being tired/lazy and having a full-blown diagnosable psychological problem... I think the latter sounds like a more legit reason. Does it say something about me given the fact that I would rather blame my poor academic performance on something stupid like being addicted to video games than be perceived as not hard-working? I think it might. Good night! 2 Comments. Oh right, like you weren't addicted to Chronicles of Narnia for the entire ... weekend or so... it took to beat the game! FOR NARNIA! » Zanzibar on 2009-01-09 07:48:24 DUDE. The same thing happened to me. my left eye was pink for two days straight, but now it's gone.
