New teaching gig!

This week, I began a new chapter in my professional life:  adjunct assistant professor in the Exercise Science department at Elon University!  I am super excited.  I am teaching two classes there in addition to the one class I teach at UNC.  Right now, I feel like my brain is being pulled in about 3 different directions, but I think all will be fine once I get into the groove.  I have enjoyed meeting my students and I'm looking forward to seeing what Elon's Exercise Science program is like, as well as making connections with the Elon faculty.  I have learned one important lesson already:  it is extremely important to sufficiently caffeinate oneself prior to teaching an 8:00am class.
