Like Dean Dad, we are experiencing our first long stretch of truly marvelous weather. And like Dean Dad, I hate it. Oh, don't get me wrong -- I love the weather. But it sure does make my job hard.
I had class at 12:30 and 2:00 today. On the last day before the four day break. When it was sunny and 70 degrees out. These are not ideal teaching conditions. The first class was antsy, and the second was comatose. It would have been just about as effective, and a lot less work, to say, "Look, I'm not going to lecture on this, because you all are just going to have to end up figuring it out by yourself whenever you get around to it. See ya!"
And it's only going to get worse! Why can't we have a nice stretch of crappy weather, just until mid-May?

The weather is pretty gorgeous here too! I love it! Of course, I've been on Spring Break this week... enjoying awesome sunny runs and beautiful relaxing days. The previous few weeks had been full of rain, storms, and low temperatures. So I guess that means that my students' spring fever will manifest itself next week! Great! I'm glad you blogged about this... it's forcing me to mentally prepare. :-)
