Pleasure and Pain...

Classes started today at OCC (for me anyway!) In addition to my responsibilities as the Program Coordinator, serving as the executive secretary of the College Senate, serving on the Global Ed, Election and Foundations of Excellent Steering Committees, I am teaching 7 classes:

3 Federal Government classes
1 State & Local class
1 Intro to Poli Sci class
1 International Relations class
1 Student Success class

I have never taught Student Success before (it's the first-year college experience course) and all but the Federal Government classes are using new textbooks that I have never taught from. I am going to be really busy!

I do have it better than my younger son, though. All of my "pain" is self-inflicted and psychological in nature; he has "crashed" on his bike and/or scooter for four consecutive days (cutting open the same knee each time!)

Oh well! In spite of it all, I love my job and my son loves his bike and scooter.

There's a fine line,
Brad
