foot firmly in hand

so i'm giving the first lecture of the year for the class i'm ta'ing. the bullshit lecture that doesn't really matter. so i've had some, ahem, motivational issues about actually thinking about what exactly i'm going to say tomorrow. i figured i could count on my natural charm and charisma to get me through, but then i thought about the david sedaris art school teaching experience and decided about 10 minutes ago that i might want to pull a powerpoint together.

i've never been in the classroom before. hopefully there's a computer and projector.
