Further motivation

Well, I started teaching yesterday (for the new term, that is). It's the first time I'll have three "sections" - i.e., they're all 'Intro to Public Speaking,' but different times. Is 27 times 3 really 81? I've been saying I'll have "75" students -- 81 seems like more than six more than 75. I think it's psychologically more like twelve more. :)

Anyway, in my third section, one of the students asked me to say a little about myself, and whaddaya think came out of my mouth? From Boston, blah blah blah, have a dog and a cat, etc., etc., and I'm slowly editing a movie I shot "a few years ago." They wanted to know what the movie was about, I said something vague, a couple people looked interested and then it was time to go. But now I have yet one more group of conscience police on my tail.

That's 50% what this blog is for, you know -- to keep me on th ball. I haven't had time to work on the editing for the last two weeks or so, but I WILL get back to it -- I'm going to try to edit every Friday and Saturday. It would definitely help my motivation to know that someone was looking in on this blog from time to time. If you actually read this, just post a 'hi' comment, so I know you're keeping an eye on me. If you would. Maybe I should tell my class they'll get extra credit points if they post on my blog...

In any case, I'll keep at it as best I can!

It's been below zero here for two weeks now -- I'm COLD!

All the very best to youse and yourn,
Rachel
