Yeah, I can imagine that stuttering in front of the entire class is not fun. (Actually, I know, since I did just that this morning, when called on in Theories of Philosophy.)

It's snowing here right now. There is nothing so lovely as late-afternoon dusk, an absolute stillness of air and those white crystals falling from the sky. It's gorgeous out there - though also, very, very cold and I'm pretty glad I'm in here right now.
