Oh man, I'm starting on Thursday! Happy to be a mutual support if ever needed/wanted. My current plan is to use lots of my high school teaching pedagogy and hope for the best.

Okay LITERALLY didn't realize how much of a difference 3 years would make but they do look significantly younger!! I had all freshman today which means they were all born in 2007 💀

And you know so much more than them! You know so much more than you did the last time you taught, you’ve forgotten how much you know
