Tonight marks the first night of classes for the quarter. I am anxious. In fact, I am much more nervous than I typically am. The reasoning for the same remains a bit baffling to me. It is an absolute mystery.
Over the past several nights, I've had dreams about school: Dreams about going to the wrong classroom, of forgetting the syllabus, of showing up on the wrong night. Today I am anxious. I am nauseous. I feel like I have a fever. I suspect I could pass out at any moment.
It is all pretty ridiculous.
The fact is that I have taught the exact class numerous times before. I am a decent instructor. A majority of my students adore me.
I need to chill and I will.
I just hope it is soon.
