I am in charge of teaching the Marriage and Family chapter in Into to Sociology this week. On Monday I gave my first lecture ever and tomorrow I am giving my second one. It has been completely nerve-wracking, overwhelming and totally wonderful.
I'm still putting together information for tomorrow at this late hour, but I just decided that I'm throwing an impromptu "baby shower". I'm bringing in one of the banners from last month's shower to decorate the classroom and will play a "game" with everyone being asked to write their advice to a new mother about raising a happy, successful person. And I'll pick up a few bags of candy to share because you have to have party favors, right?
Have I mentioned I love teaching?
