Whew! That was an intense conversation -- ran through first my post-colonial class, then my science fiction class, with the two colleagues who'll be co-teaching it with me this fall. Fun, but also a bit brain-stretching, trying to quickly go through all the readings, theory, structure, etc. -- kind of felt like trying to pack sixteen weeks of teaching into an hour-long lecture each. :-)

Luckily, didn't actually have to teach them all the content; they'll do the rest of the readings themselves and find their own takes on the texts and their own connections to the overall course materials. But it was fun giving them my angle of vision on the subjects. And hey -- I'm actually kind of looking forward to the fall semester now.

Though, with St. Augustine, I say, "Not yet, oh Lord, not yet!"
