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.

Hey, if I can manage teaching English (what exactly is the "genative" and why do we have so many irregularities? Does our language need fiber pills?) to a bunch of kids (class size from 7-32) who speak no English while I struggle in their language. And I can do that for 2 years given less than a month of training. Well, you can do this. I survived and so will you. You may even turn out to enjoy it. At least your students signed up for the class, so they WANT to be there...

Oh, and use dustless chalk! It makes a huge difference...although I don't think we have crumbly chalk in this country. It's great being allergic to the only chalk in a country that actually writes...
