i taught my first class today. my mentor said i did great, and nobody fell asleep so i guess i prolly did okay. i started with their reading assignment for the day but got bored just talking about it so i switched to visual aids instead. i had brought a model (the guys) that really demonstrated the principles the reading talked about , so i just winged it - i described the design process, and the choices we made and all that. i had them hooked, it was pretty cool.
i have no idea what to do on friday, scott won't be there to take over if i get stuck.
as a side note, i discovered tonight that their textbook, the al goldfarb one, has a whole chapter about a show i worked on at ISF - i had even referenced that show in class today! so i'll prolly point that out on friday.
i've ended up designing the fall musical - they pulled our rights to 'chicago' so now we're doing 'can can', a cole porter musical. design wasn't on my plate originally, but isn't an unwelcome addition, espcially since i can use it in class now, to demonstrate the design process.... that's what i hope to spend some time doin on friday.
no progress today on the CMT, you know who you are..

that's awesome about your class! Friday will be a snap :-)
hey, you coming up this weekend? There's a ren faire trip likely Saturday I think, although that could really be either day to fit in a ride or both.
