This morning, I woke up and felt like I was about to do something foolish. Now, I feel that way every day, but today in particular because I had agreed to teach a class at UNCC for my old professor Dr. Piazza. Sure, it's just one class period of an intro course, and it's pretty basic material, but I'd never done anything like it before so I was feeling pretty nervous just for that.
So after a little introduction, there I am in front of about 15 students, teaching a class about the beginning of the Cold War. "Today, we're going to talk about the Truman Doctrine"! Try to contain your exctiement. Being in front of the students, on the other side so to speak was a strange sensation. Like I said, a new feeling for me. But overall everything went pretty smoothly. Prof. said I did well, had a good speaking voice, etc. Probably my biggest problem was writing on a chalkboard. It looks worse than chickenscratch.
So I managed to do it without freaking out. Is it something I want to do the rest of my life? Well, just based on one class it's got to be better than selling shoes at least. And It's true though, most of the students looked like zombies and were probably half-comatose through class. Hmm, I was never like that as a student was I?
In other news, I finally decided to get my act together and set up my Xbox Live account. Me and Sammy used to play Live all the time back in college instead of studying. Good Memories. Anyways, my "Gamertag" is OatmealLegend. Halo 2 and PGR2 players of the world, watch out!
