It's one of the gifts...

The two classes has turned into four, although it may yet go beyond that - or retreat a little - by the end of the week. I had my first two classes ever today, teaching Interface Design something-or-other (medium-level Flash) and Digital Audio. The Flash subject went well, the audio wasn't quite as good - I am not so cluey when it comes to the subject matter. I'll be doing a lot of cramming for that one before next Tuesday...

The students were great though, thank goodness. I had the same group for both classes, only a small number so that made things easier too. My next class is 3d on Thursday, should be good.

Otherwise, I've been enjoying the winter down here. It's so different to Hotham. Up there, winter means extreme temperatures but also extreme fun - every time the thermometer goes down the excitement goes up. It's not really wet either - snow brushes off clothes - and every building is heated so much that it doesn't feel like winter at all when you're inside. So I've been appreciating getting caught in rain showers and looking at a distorted world through wet windows, kicking leaves caught in the gutters and admiring how the roads glisten. I haven't been appreciating having to crank the heater for 1/2 hour to get warm when I get home after work though.
