I had my first lecture yesterday. It went pretty well. There are sixteen students, all majors (thus for the most part interested). The main issue was the temperature, as there is no air conditioner in the room and the temps reached 95 yesterday. I found out earlier than in fact window units are "not allowed" on that side of the building because it would detract from the beautiful front of the building. Sigh.
But besides that, the class went well. There was a moment of embarrassment, though. One of the girls in the class was constantly fanning herself, and talking about how hot it was. At one point, I referred to her as "the hot girl." After saying it I realized what I just said and then said, "and by that I mean temperature." I'm not sure if they had a delayed reaction to "the hot girl" or were laughing at my correction, but that definitely got the class laughing.
Now I'm doing some work at home today. It's cooler today, so my office would probably be fine, but I'm not taking the risk. Plus, the desk I ordered on Overstock.com is arriving today, so I might as well be home to get it. I could have had it delivered to my office (which I will do for a lot of packages in the future), but the thing comes in two packages, one is 55 pounds and the other is 47. Hopefully UPS will walk up to the fifth floor with that without revolting.
