The GTF coordinator must be kidding. She emailed me today to tell me that I was assigned to a professor as a research assistant. I've registered three seminars this term, and it means I will be already killing myself. On top of that, and in addition to doing teaching assistant to a class with 110 students, do I have to do research assistant?! What is worse, I haven't heard good about the professor. Please, someone, tell me my research assistant assignment is a bad April Fool joke ...
