week one

The first week is always the craziest, isn't it? It's certainly not the worst, or the busiest, but there are all those little things that just go wrong. My salary is messed up, and my tuition reimbursement hasn't gone through. (Honest mistake, so there's nobody I can lie awake at night and silently blame.) The first quiz in my online course didn't function for the first two days of the course. The one class that I'm taking will be rather different from that I had in mind. Plus miscellaneous other piddly stuff. None of this is insurmountable. It's either getting fixed, been fixed, or will be OK.

But it's why I haven't been writing here - all these 4,000 little things take time. Bleh.

I've got a few days to go yet--hopefully enough time to finish reading all the books I'm supposed to be able to explain to my students next week!

I once walked into class on the first day, plopped myself down on the table at the front of the room, and started taking roll.

And then the table collapsed under me.

My first week (just attending class for me) has been rather sedate. Feel for ya, though. ;)
