I’ve entered confidence building mode today. Had all the confidence in the world yesterday, but I don’t have quite as much today. So I’m slowly working up energy and confidence necessary to go in and dominate a classroom that will likely have students hanging from the ceiling to fit in. Here’s the plan:

  1. Start by telling all the people who want to add the class that they need to get the fuck out because we’re full up
  2. Handing out 6 sets of 4 cards from a poker deck, and have the students arrange into groups
  3. Write name, office location and hours, phone, and vista only for email on the board
  4. Tell them where they can purchase the lab manual for $10 (rm 234)
  5. Ask them to raise hand if they are a freshman
  6. Ask them to raise hand if they are a sophomore
  7. Ask them to raise hand if they are a junior
  8. Ask them to raise hand if they are a senior or super-senior
  9. Send attendance sheet, and have them state their name, where they’re from and what their major is or possibly could be, if they’re in a frat/soro
  10. Introduce metric system (temp, length, mass, time, and volume)
  11. Go over measurement equipment
  12. Tell them to start the lab and describe where the outdoor portion is

Seems fairly simple, but somehow I know one of these stupid bastards is going to fuck it up. Either way, it will still be a confidence building day!
