On the Somewhat Belated Arrival of Enthusiasm

For yes, my friends, it has arrived! Sure, it took its sweet time in arriving, and no, this doesn't mean that I'm all of a sudden filled with Stepford-wife-like serenity about everything, but I woke up this morning feeling... well, excited. This puts me in a much better mood about the prospect of my day, even if my day promises to be kind of crap-filled. And really - why dread the first day, no matter what class(es) one is teaching? I mean, all you really do is introduce yourself and go over the syllabus.... I should save up my angst about teaching for the much greater trials that I will face throughout the course of the semester.
