Nerves!
Today is my first class of the semester. I’m FINALLY beginning. I have a SEVERE case of the nerves, though. It’s because the class I’m teaching is one I’ve never taught at the graduate level before, plus I haven’t taught it at all for three years. I’m afraid I’ll make a hash job of everything, or bore students, or be too nervous or something. Who knows? I probably shouldn’t get all worked up about this — there’s no point. Plus, I’m only teaching one section today, and I can revise and change what I did for tomorrow if I don’t feel it’s successful.
Don’t panic, MF!
