Other Ashleyverse Happenings

Well, folks, I gave my first communications test of the semester this morning. Judging by what I've seen so far, I think most of my students did pretty well on it. I feel confident enough in saying that teaching is one area of my life in which I've (thus far) been wholly successful. And, yes, it's Thursday again. I'm currently in the process of planning that aforementioned make-it-or-break-it essay. As far as getting the assistantship position goes, I feel I have just as much a shot as anyone else, perhaps even slightly better than some. Still, the whole thing can be nervewracking at times. I just need to take a deep breath, hold my head up high, and, most importantly-- think positive! I will live through this.
