It's nice to be wanted...

Lately I've been doing a little computer tutoring at the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke. Just helping people get up to speed and be able to edit their pieces, then deliver them to the web. It's very gratifying to see people have that light bulb moment and really begin to understand the process. I think that's the number one thing that I miss about teaching on a regular basis. I don't get to see those light bulbs go off every week. I've often wished that a teaching opportunity would present itself at the center so I could get a little of that back.

Today I was over at the center and found the computer lab full, so I walked upstairs to chat with the director about the WUNC project until the crowd thinned out, and she asked me to teach the Audio Documentary Intro class for the Winter semester. Just like that. No warning. I love how life works sometimes. Makes you think that someone is, indeed, keepin' an eye out for you.
