I was asked by a former classmate (and friend) of mine to take on some classes that she was unable to teach at PGH Center for the Arts and PGH Filmmakers, so, nothing too big but I wanted to get experience and exposure to teaching as I've thought for some time that I'd enjoy it.

Turns out I do, so who knows, may pursue it further one day.

I'm feeling pretty stressed right now, although its subsiding a bit -- of course the last peak week is also the week that EVERYTHING happens, huge project at work and a multitude of other things on my mind, not to mention I have to teach a class tonight until 9


hoping for a more relaxing day of travel tomorrow
