No Students Were Harmed . . .
Jan. 14th, 2009 10:42 pm. . . 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.
