What classes do you teach? Writing this, I miss teaching. I especially loved the beginning of the semester. The new energy, new students, and excitement were great! I'm sure you feel this way.

I love the beginning of the semester too Judy! No, I never teach the same thing each semester - but sometimes I teach the same thing each year - the same each fall and same each spring - but not always. Last semester I taught master's classes in adult health. This semester I'm teaching 2 PhD classes, one topic is health promotion in high risk populations and the other is a review of the literature class. I really love teaching doctoral students and I love both topics - BUT I have never taught this particular health promotion course and it has been 3-4 years since I've taught the literature review course - so I need some prep time to update the readings and decide on class activities. Oh well, it will happen.

Have you ever thought of teaching parttime somewhere? Is there a Jr. college nearby? or secondary school? That's probably what I will do when I retire is teach parttime.
