I am Kyle's self-indulgence

I've finished my second day of teaching today. School was actually dismissed early because we have a big ice storm on the way, so I'm going to write this quickly before leaving (Internet's not working at home--long story).

The last two days have been crazy, hectic, exciting, chaotic, and wonderful. I feel completely overwhelmed with all the planning, grading, and documentation that I haven't even got to yet, which causes me to freak out when I'm at home. At school, though, I feel great. I've led a couple of discussion-based activities that have elicited amazing responses from students. They are very bright, but I don't think most of them know it yet. I'm excited about what we can accomplish this year, but I'm also a little freaked out about the work ahead of me. I can already see why some many people both love and hate teaching.

I'm going to head out now, so I don't get stuck in Edina. I'll try to write more later.
