The Life of a Working Girl
I might be working three jobs this semester.
Three jobs, and I won't even be working 30 hours a week. I think that, at most, I'll have earned $3000 by the end of the semester. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I mean, that's an awful lot of people to report to for what? $300 a week?
Then again, maybe that's a lot of money. I don't really know, as I am completely clueless about things like relative money.
At the moment, I'm working 8 hours a week as a lab proctor, which basically means I sit at a desk and sign people into the lab. That's 8 hours to do my homework, I suppose.
Then 10 hours as a peer tutor (grading HW, attending staff meetings, holding lab hours) for Fundamentals of CS 1. I did that last semester, and it was boring as all hell. Let me tell you, there are a lot of stupid people in the world, and they were all in that one class. I have never seen so many people fail to grasp basic concepts of Scheme.
Then again, it was basically a remedial class, for people who failed the term before. I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
If I get hired (and I don't know that I will, I even highly doubt that it will), then I'll also be a peer tutor for Discrete Structures. That class, much like Fundies1, I went two only for tests and quizes and still managed to get an A. I don't know if that works in or against my favor.
We'll see.

De'Morgan wrote a law and there's a theory about your knapsack. That's all you need to know!
That and that proof by induction is against my religion. Forbidding it was, in fact, the 2nd law of my religion. The first is that you don't by brand new cars. :p
