stoutfellowFall Semester began yesterday. I'm teaching my usual fall classes, Calc I and Foundations of Geometry. I'm revamping my approach in Calc, after getting rather bad evaluations last year; we'll see how things develop. I'm also making some changes around the edges of the geometry class.
Yesterday, I was gesturing vigorously to illustrate a certain point, and managed to slam the back of my right hand down on the edge of the desk. (I finished the sentence, said "Ow!", and continued with the lecture.) The knuckles at the base of my ring finger and pinky were a little torn, the former bleeding sluggishly for a while. I've got to work on my spatial awareness - being aware of what's in my immediate vicinity and which might cause me damage....
I had no classes today, but I've got to get some things set up for the online component of the calculus course before tomorrow noon.
:starts to crack knuckles, but realizes that would be a bad idea:
