TA-ed my first session this morning. It was...less than dramatic.
Honestly I don't have words for it, because it seemed less grandiose than I had envisioned in my head previously, though I suppose I'll blame that on having to take care of business and going through what most people would think is a very dry chapter (it was all about logic and scientific statements; while I like that stuff, as a mathematics person, I know it is sort of bland to others, and trying to create a discussion about it is incredibly difficult).
Plus, I will blame some of it on the fact that it is so early. Everyone is tired at 8:30 in the morning, I know that.
Though one of the older grad students told me that it is not just me.
I'm too used to people jumping all over each other to talk. 400 level classes in a small school tend to attract only those who are really interested in the subject.
We'll see if things pick up. Maybe when we get to game theory and democratization and similar topics people will be more interested.
I need to decorate my desk, also. It is pretty bland right now.
