Teaching Excellence Award

We just got home from the Graduate Student Association awards banquet where I received my teaching excellence award. There were 12-14 given out, but I was one of six who were singled out for having gone above and beyond the call of duty. They couldn't pronounce my last name, but they spelled it right on the certificate, and that's much more important in the long run.

One of the best parts was that there were four other theatre MFA's at the banquet. One was our representative to the GSA and on the banquet committee. The other three were the entertainment. They sat at our table, but were very surprised to see me there. They knew I wasn't doing the performance stuff, and besides that, Dave was there. So they weren't sure what to make of it until I told them about the award. I had kept it to myself. Despite the fact that I feel a teeny bit superior about the whole thing, it just didn't seem right to be running around the department skipping and singing, "I got a teaching excellence award."

I don't act like I'm eight all the time.
