Back to Being a Dork

As previously warned, I may fall off the face of the Olam HaBlog once school kicks into high gear. Classes start Wednesday; wish me luck. In addition to taking Algorithms, Software Engineering, and a 300-level databases course all in one semester, I may burden myself further with the following:

1—SI* leader for CS116: Intro to CS (read: Java 101). This option is the least time consuming and earns brownie points with Zimmerman, my CS rebbe. However, I believe it pays the least.

2—Student Grader for Calculus. I would earn even more brownie points with Tutinas. I graded her Discrete Math class last semester and she’s been twisting my arm about grading Calculus for her this semester. (Discrete in only offered in Spring, otherwise there wouldn’t be a shayla) I would be putting a significant amount of time into this, but would be paid accordingly. Technically, I can grade any 100-level Math course, but Calc is more chashuv.

3—Website Coordinator Intern. This is the only position I’m considering in which I would not be directly working for the Math/CS department. Translation: No potential brownie points. It’s also the only position where I would actually have to apply. However, I would be working for the American College Personnel Association. This job comes complete with the most obligations, but may be the most chashuv as well. Since I can spread out my tasks over the entire academic year, it *might* be less time-consuming than grading. And I would be rewarded much more handsomely for my efforts.

Theoretically, I can do any possible combination of the above jobs. However, I am trying to factor sleep into the equation. Taking off for Yom Tov complicates matters as well. Hmm…decisions, decisions….As always, suggestions/comments welcome.

* Supplemental Instruction for those not familiar with the lingo. It’s similar to TA’ing, with less responsibility
