First Contact
For my first post on this blog, I - quite oddly, I think - have little to say. Life has been predominantly filled by teaching. I have 5 ninth grade English classes and an advisement class, or 150 or so students, which has been fun and a challenge. We have also opened a new school. Some things still require work - for example, we have no lockers and not enough books for the students. But, nonetheless, everyone is thrilled to be part of a new school.
With this being my first adult job, I feel older more so than ever. Indeed, on a radio show this week, the hosts were asking callers to list signs of getting older. I had a student tell me that she thought I am in my 40s; the entire class was surprised to learn I am 24. But, at any other moment besides teaching, I feel young. I am the youngest of the English faculty, for example, and still reminisce warmly about my university days just a few months ago. What a weird thing! It's some sort of temporal limbo; I don't know if I'm the old adult of my students' eyes or the young lad of my own senses, or what.

Freddy! I just read this and I am utterly appalled! Next year, remember to make up a new age for yourself. For example, I am really 62 years old. Just add 30 years onto your age so that you can quickly calculate the year you were born in case the students ask. This saves the "you can't tell me what to do because you are my age" problem.
