I have become disillusioned with teaching. What little desire I had has been completely obliterated. In a big university they actually do everything based on the bell curve, even if the average is 90%. The person with the 89% gets a C+ because he or she happens to fall on the wrong side of the mean. I guess this works at a big place, but not so much somewhere like Pomona. So if I want to teach, I'd definitely have to do it somewhere small, but that would mean less research, which is what I really want to do.

Tomorrow is the first day of classes. Yay, mathematical physics. Feel the excitement.
