Day 80 of Year 16:

I feel like a rookie.  I was about to write that I actually have survived three days of teaching - after 16 years, and THAT's my comment?  Seriously?  So, I guess I actually DID write that I felt like a rookie.

But after three days of talking about the syllabi (multiple times as I have 6.5 preps), I am getting a nandle on the classes, the class sizes, and trying to get the right kids to stay and the right kids to choose another class (you know who I mean - don't deny you have them as well...).

I still love looking at art and I still have that ful size self-portrait in mind...one day soon.

I mean, after all.  we have to watch out for our kids, right?
