The cats are totally out to get me right now and I don't know what I did.
The good news I learned today: one of my classes does not involve a final paper. It still means a crapload of reading, but now I'll only have two 15-20 page papers to write, instead of three. Of course, all three courses require two-page reaction papers every week... I still might die. At least I'm feeling a bit more comfortable with the Hebrew alphabet after a couple of days studying it. I still can't say anything of course, except one very slow consonant/vowel combination at a time. I'm definitely sounding it out.
The bad news is that I seem to be coming down with something again. I got a sore throat halfway through yesterday, which made me really mad. Wasn't I just sick like two weeks ago? It seems like it. I hope my vitamin regimen works for me-- although I'm kind of slacking on it right now.
I scared a couple of students out of my class today by speaking Spanish the whole time. I don't know what they were expecting... Having finished the Hampshire Jan Term, where I taught two hour and forty-five minute classes a day, my 50 minute class period seems way too short. It will be a challenge figuring out how to get stuff done again... I just hope my students are into class enough to show up consistently, so we can maybe spread activities out over a couple of class periods. I'm not going to hold my breath.
