The Summer School Marathon of Teaching

Today, I head back to the classroom. I have to admit, I'm kind of excited. This summer session, I'm teaching my favorite course at UC Davis: Human Biological Variation. It's all about race, and why it's a biological fallacy. And it's so much fun! I'm sad though, as today marks the start of the last class I'll teach here, at least that I can honestly predict. I move on to Montana right after the class ends, and life just gets crazier from there on out.

Also, I have to admit, today mark the end of my great break from work after finishing my dissertation and everything. I've been busy working throughout my time off, but from here on out it's nose to the grindstone time. Alas, woe is me :) Yeah, I'm really not complaining. It's been great, but it's time to head back.

Okay, time for some funnies. I ran across this on facebook last night and had to share it. Just substitute English class for Anthropology (or whatever your subject may be). The only excuse missing from it is the student bursting into tears and utterly making things awkward!
