Two classes into my first teaching experience, and I'm feeling good about it. We haven't been doing much -- Monday was just a syllabus review, and today we made name plates, ate cookies, and did a bit of freewriting -- but it's the first week, most of these students are new to college, and I don't want to bombard them with much stuff. My concern at this point is that once we get to the real big stuff starting with Monday's class, they won't be quite so easy to get going since we really took it easy this first week. The key, as always, is going to be keeping things interesting within the framework of what we have to cover in class, and I just hope all that Ira Shor I read this summer can help me there.
Still no word from anyone about the Mary Timony show in Dayton on the 10th, and I really don't want to go by myself. Just as a reminder to my friends down there, I don't drink, so I can pick you all up and drop you all off and you can get as hammered as you want at the show. I'll even behave myself afterwards and everything. ^.^
