I guess there're a few things weighing on my mind.. like wondering abt the amount of authority i possess over a student's life (in the case of my position) and how much i should assert that influence, how much do I protect, how much do i exhort?
i also see today, the importance of having people who have a different theoretical orientation than you. haha.
and it suddenly dawned on me that the next 3 days will be very busy indeed.
