Well, today was my first official day as a teaching assistant. I'll be assisting Dr. Timothy Budd for Translators (CS 480). I'm exciting about this since I ultimately want to be a college professor. It looks like my duties will entail lots of grading and whatever else Dr. Budd assigns.
Assistantships are really the way to go. They cover tuition as well as a monthly stipend. OSU has both research and teaching assistantships. Essentially, you get paid to go to school!
I thank God for providing this assistantship. I wasn't expecting an assistantship this early in my grad career although I have tried for a TA position since I applied to OSU. I had already written off this winter term until I found out about it at the last minute. It's a blessing because I'll save thousands of dollars and have extra income.
