I knew you had a .edu email, but didn't realize you were an instructor. We have something in common then, as I just started teaching Introduction to C Programming at Sacramento State this fall.

 

I'll have to check out the pumpkin pie ice cream too. Recently I've discovered Double Rainbow ice cream, which is sold at Trader Joes.

Had a pumpkin pie shake at Jack in the Box yesterday. It was yummy.

Cool. Teaching is one of the most/least rewarding jobs I've had. "Most" in that it's really cool when you see a student understand something all of the sudden. "Least" happens when they don't even bother trying.

 

I've only started teaching again this Fall. Last time I taught was probably '97 or '98. Somewhere in there. I'm starting to get back into it though. My lecture went fine Monday... until the power went out. Not terribly helpful during a computer class.

 

Back to the important topic though: I picked up a quart of the Pumpkin Pie ice cream the other day. Haven't had any yet, but soon... oh yes... very soon. (It tastes really good if you have a scoop of chocolate with it.)

My least favorite part about teaching is probably giving grades. I think it takes the fun out of learning. I've explained to my students that people have been teaching for 100,000's of years, but grades are only about 200 years old. (Teaching is the real "world's oldest profession".)

 

Again, back to the important topic. I tried some pumpkin pie ice cream from a local producer, and I understand exactly what the fuss is about.
