telling people that you want to break up with physics is a lot more complicated than i thought.

when you tell a faculty member / advisor that you've lost interest in physics and are now considering alternate career, it is not surprising to see a surprised or condescending or disappointed look on their face. in fact, chances are that you will see all three of them on his face at the same time. when i came in and talked to a faculty advisor this morning to tell him that i've lost interest in physics, i was mentally prepared to handle such a thing. what rather surprised me was that when i said that i am now more interested in teaching than research, i get an even more condescending look of disbelief, as if saying "are you retarded?"

do research professors think that teaching is a horrible thing to do? do they think it's such a waste of time? if anything, i think they should respect teachers more, because not all brilliant research professors know how to teach properly.

what to do when you have so many things to do, but don't want to do any of them?

two weeks in

i made a student cry today. i felt bad.

every week, i have to make a quiz to give to my students in the section. since the quizzes total up to only 20% of their grade, i made the quiz easy, and i also left examples problems up on the board to help them out. apparently this one girl made little mistakes here and there and she might lose a lot of points because of those. she came to my office after section to talk about the quiz.

then tears started flowing from her eyes.

two weeks in and i made a student cry already. i'm such a bad person =(
