Oh, it’s going pretty well. Thanks for asking, title.

I mean, my first day went pretty well. I had some people write. I mangled some names on the roll. I went over a syllabus. You know, fairly normal stuff.

As per usual, I had some extreme performance anxeity right before I went into the room. I assumed this would be just like acting, and it was. I was really nervous. I paced around Grauel for like, 40 minutes, walking up and down stairs at extreme speeds and whatnot. And yet, once I got into the classroom, I was cool, casual, and did what I came there to do with no real hesitations.
For whatever reason, my students seemed pretty attentive and untalkative. But, you know, that’s to be expected at 8 in the fucking AM, isn’t it? I do hope we’ll be able to have some class discussions in the future, if for no other reason than I feel like I got more out of those class discussions than anything in my college career. A good class discussion is better than any other class activity, you know?

But yeah, I think it’s all going to work out fine.

I already got an e-mail from a student too, thanks to issues with textbook acquisition. That’s what I get for assigning things so quickly, I suppose. But I answered that like a champ.

I am a champ.
Maybe.

Okay, probably not, but I’m going to do a good job, okay?
