Good Things

I just wanted to say that today was my second day of teaching in an actual classroom (for those of you who don't know, which I think is actually most of you, I was offered a contract to teach an intro to web design class for the next 3 weeks) and I'm just really, really excited. I was so nervous yesterday that I almost didn't make into the building. I sat in my car for a good 10 minutes trying to think up an excuse not to go in that wouldn't make me look like a total ass in front of the people who got me the contract and the only reason I got out of my car was because I couldn't think of anything. So much for my creativity! I've been convinced that being a teacher is the right thing for me to do for so long now that I guess I was just afraid to just do it already because what if I did it and I was terrible? Or my students hated me? I was afraid to be wrong about what I've decided to do with my life because right now that's the one area that really seems to be heading in a positive direction. But I love it! And I think I'm good at it. And so far no one seems to hate me at all! It's great.
