Teacher!

I taught my Calculus B class for the first time today - not only was this the first class of the semester, but also my first class ever! Nervousness had set in, but I did a lot of preparation before hand, and while I definitely have some room to improve, I think my class and I will get along just fine. As an experience it was definitely a lot of new sensations - I've spent my entire life sitting in their position, so I have a good idea of what I looked like from their perspective. But I can use that to my advantage so that Thursday will go more smoothly.

Tennis is an underrated sport

I was trying to catch the Men's finals match of the US Open of Tennis this afternoon - but NOBODY WAS BROADCASTING IT! I had to go to work and missed the last match (Del Potro won), I was actually kind of disappointed and annoyed that football takes precedence over international tournaments. Class and work were fine and uneventful though. More fun with lasers and interesting results liven up any day though.

Bring me the blue pages

Sunday was spent mulling over Calculus notes to prepare for my foray into educational instruction on Tuesday. The rest of the time was spent doing other arduous tasks that I don't feel like recounting (or remember). I did decide to finally buy "Myst" for the iPhone - a game I played on a computer (it was a cd-rom!) back when I was like 11 years old, and the game's now nearly 20 years old! It's perfectly suited for the iPhone and it's fun to play through the old puzzles I vaguely recall that gave me so much trouble when I was younger.
