Hello blogging world. I am linking-up with Jaime at This Kind of Love for What I Am Loving Wednesday.
1. I taught my first college class last night. It was definitely a little bit scary, but I am fairly positive that I pulled it off ok. The class is 3 hours long, which is a very long time to keep the attention of 18 20-somethings. The above picture is what I wore my first day of teaching. I also added a blue blazer since it was actually a little cold last night.
2. All of the love from my friends and family yesterday. I got so many texts with good luck wishes. People are so sweet and I appreciated every single one of them.
3. The two days I had with Lane. He returned from training at 3:00 AM on Friday and had to fly out at 5:00 AM on Sunday. Having only those two days made us really focus on each other. I barely turned on my phone and left my computer off almost the whole time. He was so sweet with Asha and I could tell she missed him.
4. Starbucks flirting.
5. My chalkboard message for fall. My handwriting isn't great, but I am making a conscious effort to focus more on everything I have to be grateful for. I wrote down grateful lists while Lane was gone for the month, and think that it helped me stay positive and focused.
What are y'all loving this Wednesday?
I'm glad to hear the first class went well! When it comes to teaching, the best advice I have ever gotten is to fake it until you make it. As long as you act like you know what's up, your students will follow suit. And great first-day ensemble!*
