kiara, maybe i'm just too impatient... but the more i try to do things, to try to be useful, to actually feel like i've been hired for a reason, the more i feel that there's no way anything will change. i shouldn't make such a harsh judgement after only a couple of months, i know... i just feel useless, that's all, and i feel i've been hired for wrong reasons. maybe my expectations were too high? maybe work will pile up soon enough and then i'll complain that i have too much to do? it's hard to tell. i was scared i'd have too much to do and now i complain because i'm bored, isn't that ironic!?

Well, maybe the change in your work rythm is unsettling, and maybe you will adapt - or suddenly feel like it's actually nice to have some time when you don't have to push things constantly after this hard phD where you had so much to do - but most probably this is a first job, and one day they'll be another one, hopefully more interesting, or at least with more power to make things improve/change.
Hopefully in the meantime your students will turn out to be interesting and you'll find some reward through the way they receive your teaching !
Thus said, i've always dreamt of visiting Vancoucer... :)
