this is me right now. Dark chocolate is key.

Tomorrow is our first class! I am going to copy the links to join on Zoom, below.

I will have my camera and mic on; I expect all my students to do the same.

I keep some drinks or snacks nearby — please do that, too. And be sure to access our class from a computer — not just a smartphone. I try give a break during class, even if it is short; if I forget to do that, can you please remind me?

I am excited and just a little bit nervous to meet you all.

Oh, and have some paper and pen ready? We take notes.
