Today is the first day of classes

...which is just fine with me. I will not be a student in any classes, but am teaching two sections of accelerated elementary Spanish. I also have to finish my MA thesis.

I'm a little groggy (although I'm currently enjoying a nice latte which should help) because I woke up super early this morning and, because I still have a cough from my recent cold, I couldn't get back to sleep.
