Le Premier Jour...

I don't think I slept. I stayed up watching a Nat Geo Documentary with Russ called Guns, Germs, and Steel about the rise of Western and civilized culture. The main guy, a one Jared Diamond (whaaaaa?), was the primary guy and he is convinced that the reason the world is separated into "haves" and "have nots" can all be traced back to the crops we learned to cultivate and the animals we managed to domesticate. Though I say 'we' like we have ancestors in the fertile crescent....

Anyway. I woke myself up at like, 6:55 - 5 minutes before my first alarm was to go off. Except that my last and final alarm doesn't go off until 7:45...when I actually need to be awake. So here I am, already up and ready to teach! I've gotten ready, triple checked all of my supplies, and am about to go get fresh juice - for the first time since you left! - to start the day off right.

I have 27 students in my 101 class and I thought you should know that one of their names is Colton Charles something. Sounds like a name you might be into, no?

I got my ipad in the mail yesterday! I have my attendance and things on there. So organized will I be, I hope. Well my love. I hope your first day goes/went well. 

SALUT TOUT LE MONDE! I WILL BE YOUR OVERLY EXCITED FRENCH 101 INSTRUCTOR!

I'm wearing your UK blue to add confidence. And hopefully get kids to like me. Though I shouldn't call them kids. I'm teaching in college before I'm old enough to have graduated. SO NERVOUS. 

à bientôt!
