So Divorce club is going well, who knew that my little disease is contagious! I've been helping four friends deal with their divorces. TNT said I should teach remedial divorce 101, especially for those that failed the marriage HSA. Hilarious! I must be careful to not take sides, or to make anyone feel that I'm not there for them. I also should be careful how many drunk texts I send to ex#1.
I've been working on how I teach a lesson. The presentation, expecting questions, socratic questions, increasing participation. I know that the students have noticed. It may have come about from my education classes at grad school. It has been awhile since I have focused on the art of teaching instead of the content. This is much more fun than molecular biology or animal physiology. To analyze how I teach instead of what I teach is making my job more fun and actually easier . Except the grading, which I just keep in a pile.
Thank goodness for these few days off in February (today is an ice storm day off! yesterday off for the obama day!). I'm going to go to NYC for the weekend.

You should put that on your resume! You have mean divorce-teaching skills.
