I’m am looking forward to teaching an 8-hour class this Tuesday at Penn State, primarily because the classroom has all the latest technology.  I was told it even has a “green room” where the instructor can hang out during breaks.  Even though I do this course a couple times a year, I spent all weekend making changes that I thought were necessary.  In retrospect, I probably could have just left it alone and took some personal time off to recharge.  I often have trouble balancing work and personal life.  However, I did manage to go out with a couple friends on Saturday night and had a good time.  I am glad they don’t take my reclusive nature personally because  I enjoy their company.
