Today’s jump into school was also a head-first jump into teaching my FIG students.  I was quite nervous, and there was no way for me to hide it from my students.  Nevertheless, I told them that I am not very good at public speaking, but would like to improve when opportunities arise for me to practice.  Thus, this creates a mutual relationship in which I am being taught too!  YAY!

The professors I encountered today have made a pretty good first impression on me because they were so laid back and have such an interesting sense of humor.  Hilarity ensued at M 340L when our professor had trouble with the blackboards in the room.  He was unable to get to the other blackboard and dropped and broke chalk left and right.  He eventually resorted to using the document camera and unveiled all the secrets he was to teach today.

I think this will be a great semester!  FIG and UT Solar Vehicles Team is going to own me!
