rue du bagel!

Not dead, just teaching. *g* I survived my first week, and will be posting more on my teaching filter once I'm a bit more organized (comment here if you want to be added to it!). I've been wavering between exhausted and overly emotional for good two-thirds of the time and sleeping for the rest. I've also been gradually moving into narnia_girl's and my new apartment, which is really nice - two floors, lots of space and light.

I had a dream last night that I was walking in France with my mom and we were looking for a bistro called Rue du Bagel to have breakfast in! *g* Along the way, we passed Rue du Cannes, which was a bakery with a lot of fancy cakes in the window. No, I don't know why I persisted giving street names to eateries. In any case, I felt sufficiently European this morning to have a double shot of espresso, but they didn't give me a demitasse (essential for pretending you're in Italy and do not have grading to do, I find), so I added milk and sugar to get a makeshift latte. *g*

Am I on this filter? If not, add me please. Will be doing teaching this year again myself and must have someone who understands my pain and the occasional over-emotional moment of sniffling pride when someone actually learns something.

You're added! What are you teaching? *grins*

I'm teaching uni undergrads, tutoring for two courses: one is general programme on ethical leadership/sustainable development, and the other is my own area "psychology, crime and criminal justice"

Ah, neat! I taught Film Studies year before last - this year it's middle school science, which is a just a wee bit different. *laughs*
