I have a course number! That means it’s official!
I know, I know, I am irrationally excited about having a course number. But I mean, come on, it means that people know that my course exists! And can sign up for it, in about a week!
Then again, that also means that in a week I’ll be teaching my first class. It’s vaguely terrifying. But the excitement outweighs the terror.

The ExCo fair is tonight in the Root Room from 6-8pm. Sign up for Intro to French Musicals and dozens more!

Two notes on teaching an ExCo:
- There are very few things more enjoyable than having a group of students you like and respect best your expectations of them.
- One of my measures for a good class period is whether we have to kick the students out of the room after the class is supposed to have ended—especially if the class period in question was a two-hour-long discussion class.
Tonight was a good night.
