I swear I'm more nervous marking essays than I ever was writing them and handing them in. WHAT IF I GET IT WRONG? THAT'S SOMEONE'S DEGREE!

Matters are not helped by the fact that all I really want to do is write about Dan trying to stop Rorschach and Adrian from killing each other while they investigate nefarious cults. Shouldn't there be some way of switching fannishness off while you're trying to do the stuff you actually get paid for?

Not yet! ;) I'm a PhD student, and one of the part-time jobs I do to keep myself going is teaching a seminar and marking essays. It's good, but also the most responsibility I've had in job so far, really. (The other one is in a library, which is quite nice.)

A PhD student of ELDRITCH HORRORS, no less!

I would quickly explode if I had to mark essays and such. More power to you. (The library thing, on the other hand, I could do.)

I have still had no luck with the effort to get my degree title changed to 'Doctor of Eldritch Horrors'. Disappointing. ;)

Oh no, we wouldn't want you exploding! That would be messy, and also sad.

The whole grading thing is one of the reasons I'm not sure I want to be any sort of teacher/professor-thing. Because SO MUCH RESPONSIBILITY GAAAAAAH.

Yeah, quite! They are getting moderated, but I'm still convinced that the one the module co-ordinator passes over will be the one I screw up. ;)

Let me help:

I hasten to add that the method initially proposed probably needs to be adjusted according to the comments that follow the initial article.
