Thanks for the replies... it helps. Much appreciated!

I'm a female 5th year undergraduate (taking some grad courses as I transition, so I felt this to be an appropriate site), science major. Took 2 courses w/ a professor in Russian dept & I did very well & got along well with prof. After recently interacting with him, he ran into me & asked if I was interesting in TAing for him. Since then, he FWD'd applications he thought would be interesting for me, etc. Long story short, I appreciate the opportunities & friendliness, but am unsure of the motivation. I am in an entirely diff department and a close friend thought it odd than a prof from a lang dept would be so eager to do so much with me. I am curious as to whether or not other believe this to be odd & suggestive of a non-academic interest on his part, or if I am looking too far into it? Thanks.
