suggested track: "nemesis" by high on fire

new semester started for me this morning. i hate the first day. my class ended in about fifteen minutes. pretty much the students introduce themselve, and i go over the syllabus. very poorly and quickly. i don't feel the need to talk down to my students by reading it to them. although there are some key points i didn't address, that'll have to wait until monday. i'm surprised at how little preparation i've done for this class this semester. i made sure i ironed out every detail before class started last semester.

the beard left about a week after returning to madison. rachel came back and was complaining about it, so to keep her quiet i shaved it. but not all of it. i now sport a sweet biker style hulk hogan moustache. i'll be long and dead before i get rid of it.

i managed to get almost no artwork done during my break. what little i did has been scrapped, and started over. that means i'm going to have to bust ass to get these projects done. i spent all my time getting slides/dupes made and putting together job applications. it's so time consuming, and annoying, and costly. i hope it pays off.

i wore a tie to class today trying to be alt hip cool ironic professor guy. i don't think any of my students got it. they probably think i'm going to wear a tie everyday. oh, and there were crusty food stains on the tie of unknown origin. i also wore a button up cardigan sweater. a little over the top.
