kilroyJust finished my first day of classes on the new schedule, and I have this to say: three preps in four hours is going to kill me. Or maybe it's just the eight-hour non-stop day. Maybe both.
Anyway. Highlights of today: getting to tell the teacher-disappears-to-the-Caribbean story many times; doing the Python Argument Sketch live in class with a student; two moderately productive discussions which got where I needed them to go; two teachers who went out of their way to help me out with my new responsibilities.
"Argument is an intellectual process, contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of any statement the other person makes."
"No it isn't."
Sometimes life is good; exhausting, but good.
Now to prepare to teach one student ESL for two hours tomorrow...
