Doctura te saluto

Tomorrow afternoon, for the first time in my life, I am going to teach a class. I have summer-taught Latin. I have TA'd literature classes. I have tutored Latin and Greek. I have never been responsible for the full-semester education of eighteen young minds in the grammatical basics of Latin, with an eye toward further advancement in Classics. This will be interesting.

I must remember to buy colored chalk.

If I can teach music appreciation to reluctant arts camp kids, you can teach Latin at a leading university. One would assume (perhaps foolishly) that most of them want to be there.

If I can coach vocalists in American art songs who have essentially no grasp on the English language... wait... I kind of suck at that. Never mind.
