And here we go

Today I'm finally back at school. Technically, I was in school last week, and even led an elective class on business math, but today is my first day back and teaching a "real" class, AP Calculus. I am a little nervous and a little medicated, but I think it'll be fine. It's not as terrifying as it seemed last week. This is all I am teaching for the next month or so, just to make sure I'm up for it. I think I am but I've been very wrong on several occasions, so it's good to be sure.

This all feels kind of curious and a bit unworldly. I think that's in part because I've been forbidden by both my wife and my supervisor from driving to work. I understand and support this decision; I can't be trusted to decide this kind of thing, but it somehow unmoors me from the normal reality of work. I guess it's the lack of control and the lack of routine. I'm captive of other people's schedules.

So I'll check in later to let everyone know how it went.
