Maintain Discipline

Yesterday the fear started to hit me. Today I'm praying for the strength of "one day at a time". You see, we college instructors never have formal teaching or curriculum training. We simply create it as we see fit. My problem is that I keep getting paralyzed by the unlimited possibilities. If I can only see "tomorrow's lesson" then I can plow through. Unfortunately, I keep raising my head and wondering what the professional Rhetoric and Composition teachers are playing with, and it overwhelms me. I'm so afraid my students will get the idea I don't know what I'm doing. Google cannot save me. It's all one big experiment. Go easy on me.

Today I took our cat - or kitten - named Metallica to the Army vet clinic for her booster shots. She's about four months old, and we call her Alli. She was freaked out to travel, but loved every person who touched her. What a great disposition!

(no, this isn't a photo of me sleeping with a Guinness in my hand; I like to ensure my beer is in a bottle if I'm going to nap while holding it!)

Cute pic! Kittens are so wonderful! We talk about adding another one to our family, but I would hate to upset the life of our 4 year old cat.

Oh, and a glass of Guinness is easy to clean up after falling asleep.... it is nothing but a loaf of bread, right?
