Today's Class

c9Today I'm teaching PowerPoint 2000 Level 1. It's just as exciting as you might imagine. It's been a while since I taught boring ol' apps, actually. And I've got fourteen students. Should be interesting.
When I have fourteen students (or any number over nine or so), the day seems to fly by sometimes. With that many students, there ends up being lots of tangents, lots of mistakes, and lots of "can you repeat that?" Which is OK. I have a tendency to finish early, so this will assist me in finishing at a more reasonable time.
Some of our instructors run their courses past the scheduled end time (9am-4pm is normal timing), which I just can't imagine. I find that my students are completely out of it by 3:30 or so, and always ready to run screaming from the room. (I'm using comedic hyperbole here, just for those who don't know me well enough to know that my students don't end up in that state literally.)
Side note: I HATE people who say "this is *literally* killing me!" No, no it's not. Anyway.
I have 20 minutes to get ready for class. Anybody have any amphetamines?
