2/17: on the other side

I've gotten so used to being a teacher that I think I sometimes forget what it's like to be a student. Today, however, I went to the first meeting of an evening astronomy class being offered at a nearby state college. It was so weird to take notes! And to feel nervous about chiming in! It's a good to have a first-hand reminder of what it's like to be sitting in the classroom rather than be standing in front of it.
