Once more, unto the breach, dear friends...

Tomorrow is the first day of classes of the fall semester. Not only have I been (theoretically) rehired for another semester, but I've been given three separate classes to teach, which will be something like 25 hours of classroom time per week.

Too much work? I reckon so. So I'm going to make this choice consciously, with full awareness of what I'm letting myself in for. They want a full-on teaching schedule, that calls for a full-on teacher. I seem to recall having the best hallucinatory visions when I was jittery with exhaustion and fueled by coffee, Snickers bars and bemusement at the antics of my students anyway.

Goddamn it, saddle up! There's educating to do!
