I came back from the break in Mexico not knowing what class would run and which I'd be able to teach. Rather than take the weekend classes, I chose to take a course I'd not taught before. I am very thankful for that decision. I was extremely sick during the initial weekend and would have been useless in the classroom. More importantly, I am having a great time going through the new materials. I think I shine when I have to be creative.
I just printed up a midterm examination for tomorrow. At the sound of sounding puffed up with self-importance, it rocks!
Here's a group I taught a year ago!
