finally
Something is finally finished for the semester...preparing lectures. I'm SO glad!!! I whipped out one last Powerpoint this morning, taught this afternoon. Now I just have a practice listening session, which isn't something I really have to prepare for...it's more of a service to them since listening is as learned an art as reading, grading (right, just grading), and their final. But no more class preps! Woohoo! I also got the good news that I'm "on the books" for the fall for teaching. I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it or not, but it's nice to feel like not a complete failure at my first venture into teaching on my own. I love the place where I've been teaching. It's a really great place to work. I hope in the future I can find other places like it.
