I don't know why I always get so worked up about teaching. It's always the highlight of my week! I wasn't at all certain about having three sections to deal with instead of just one, but really, three times the fun-- why was I nervous? Of course at this point I've had only two of my three sections, and apparently there's always one that's a little ( Read more... )
