i have thirteen students in my class this time around. not sure i'll still have all thirteen next week, but i guess we'll see.

it was a weird feeling. i've been dreading this day since december. i whined all day that i didn't want to go. and then, when i get there, i'm calm. i'm organized. i'm not at all nervous (i can tell because neither my hands nor my voice was shaking). i was confident in my delivery and the way i answered questions. and i felt good. almost good enough to continue on to another class.

almost. not quite. and most certainly not for this particular school board's program!

incidentally, when i went to the office to pick up my books, there was a very attractive guy that was sort of lumbering around the office area. turns out he was a teacher at the school and i was using his classroom. he helped me carry my text books to the class. yes, i tried to flirt with him but he was stonier than i am normally. didn't even crack a smile. science geeks.
