No Students Were Harmed . . .

. . . during this first day of classes. The Spring semester has begun! And for some reason I had a lot of fun today teaching. I certainly wasn't ready to go back to school just yet, but that didn't show during the lecture (I don't think).

This semester I'm teaching three classes: Calculus I, Calculus II, and Complex Analysis. I've taught Calc I before (last semester actually), and I've done Calc II before (but a long time ago), so the real class for me this semester is Complex. (Small math joke there; you may have missed it.) But I think I'll have fun with it.

Tomorrow I will hopefully have a voice. I'm sort of sick. When another cycling instructor called and asked if I could sub, I said yes without thinking about it. But that spinning room doesn't have a mike so I yelled the whole class, and coupled with the cold . . . the voice thing might be iffy. Why is this a problem? Well, teaching aside, I'm supposed to appear on TV tomorrow to promote the booksigning on Saturday! Wouldn't it be funny if I showed up and couldn't talk? Ha ha! That . . . would be . . . hilarious.

Hmmm.

Stay tuned.

Hi Joshua, I finished it last night. It was a fun read and the ending was impressively dramatic; while I'd anticipated some of what happened, you also managed to surprise me. My husband's got it, now. :) I'm not planning on a review as I'm up to my neck in alligators (the time-eating, rather than flesh-eating type, fortunately), but if I change my mind, I'll be sure to let you know.
