And so it begins
Yesterday and today were the first day of my classes. I rewrote my syllabus and we covered it in great detail in class. I warned them it was going to boring as all get-out and it was. But after that, we played a rousing game of Would You Rather? and it worked out great. I heard from students that I haven't heard from all last semester. It really was a good way to get them moving and talking. I liked it. By the end of day Tuesday the inside of my right cheek was raw. The flipper I have is rubbing against my cheek and since I teach 7:30 - 3:00 on Tuesdays and Thursdays, it was painful by the end of the day. I did get to the dentist to have it adjusted, but really won't know if it's okay until next Tuesday. Have to let the raw parts heal over the weekend. Oh, the joys of teaching. Wednesday and Thursday were a bit boring as they were primarily lecture and demos. But sometimes that's what you have to do to get information out there. School really is a giant clusterf*
