I forgot I do this every semester I teach:
I seem to do everything I can to convince myself that I've gotten the first day of the semester wrong. For example, the class I'm teaching has its first day on January 20th. I remember thinking it was a late start date, but this university had a late fall semester date, too, so it did make sense. Now, I seem to be doing everything I can to scare myself into believing not only that the class may start next week, but it might have already even started and no one has told me. Now, I keep going back to the Spring 2009 calendar of the school to double, triple, nthle check to make sure I'm not mistaken. Because I'm not quite ready for the semester yet and it would be so embarrassing to get something so simple wrong.
January 20th, official start of my new job. Not the 13th, not the 6th, the 20th.
I'm sure. Really. I am.
And I swear I do this every single time I teach.
