Well, I like to wear something in the evenings before hitting the hay. I've been sleeping in the nude all year round for the past three years - before that I only slept in the nude in the summer. Much more comfortable that way.
Very tempting, as long as it's only temporary. That's getting a bit warm for me.
Shakey, that's EARLY Spring weather for us in the South. We'll be hitting upper 90's sometime in late April.
Take it from my first comic-making venture-slash-fiasco: Don't do it for other people. Do it for yourself.
Oh, it'll be mostly for myself. This is the story I had in my head for years. I worry that my drawing skills may be sub par, so I've never attempted to be serious about it...but I have decided to do it, drawing skills be damned and hope for the best.
I've recently had to break myself of this habit while researching a paper for history. Obviously things like finding an engaging source helps (ie, Wikipedia while quick is not exactly high-quality writing). But additionally I've found if I can't minimize the distractions by going to the library or what have you: Mozart. Well, probably just a favourite band, I suppose. But I think having something in the background that really stimulates me (I absolutely love Mozart) associated with the task at hand (research) made it enjoyable and therefore easier. I know what you're doing isn't 'work' per se, and since you've been planning this a while you probably already enjoy it... But this may help you. Or I could be a crazy person.
Smaller classes allow you to interact and teach students on a more personal basis? I dunno. I don't know what your class requirements are in terms of how many students must pass. If I felt like it I could fail every student in all three of my classes and labs and still be employed for the next year. One of the perks of teaching college, I suppose - you don't have to give a shit.
