first-day jitters

I had really bad first-day jitters today, worse than I've had in a long time. I think it's because I was going back to first-year students after a year away from them.

Both courses went well, and I teach my social class grad course Thursday night. Gotta say this: after an entire summer of not really talking to groups of people for more than an hour at a time, I'd forgotten how exhausting teaching is. I'm wiped.
