January 19: Great Teaching Day, Werewolves, Great Floods

I had a great teaching day.  The students were engaged.  I was having fun.  We talked about the creation of the world, werewolves, Great Flood myths.  The class time just flew by.  Before I knew it, it was 3:30 p.m., and the students were looking like they had planes to catch or roasts burning in their ovens.  I just thank God this mythology class has gotten off to such a good start this semester. Today reminded me of why I love teaching.

American Idol is on again tonight, and my daughter and I have a date.  We're going to have a great time.  It will be a great way to end the day.  I wish my days consisted of just teaching classes at the university and coming home.  It would be heaven.  Instead, I'll be dragging myself out of bed tomorrow morning at 4 a.m.  I'll spend the morning cleaning, putting together medical charts, and answering phones.  My heart isn't in this part of my life.  It hasn't been in this part of my life for a while.  But this part of my life pays the bills and helps keep my family healthy.
