Eldrad must live

Wow, despite having only had five hours of sleep and did not start preparing for my Rhetoric class until like 15 minutes ago, I'm alarmingly cheerful - perky, one might even say - this morning. It's probably the caffeine. XD

Still, though, part of it might just be that it's a good morning. I had a croissant from the library food stall for breakfast that was surprisingly good, and now I'm sitting in my office with energetic music playing on my iPod, finishing the reading I assigned my students and putting together discussion questions. I don't teach until almost 11, so I feel like I've got plenty of time to put together an awesome discussion - and if today's discussion, on prejudice and race, isn't completely awesome, IT WILL NOT BE MY FAULT. (I am mildly worried because one of my better participators is sick and won't be there today, but NEVERTHELESS I WILL SOLDIER ON. Also if they suck at participation today that means they'll get a reading quiz on Thursday which I am going to make hard as fuck to guess at, just to spite them and make sure ONLY those who have done the reading closely will get it right.)

Then, after teaching, I'm going to have delicious pizza for lunch, then come back to my office and try to get some calligraphy practice done (maybe get a start on things to send!) before my Old English reading group at 5.
