I’m really shocked by the students this semester. Not only are they scarily good with a very high degree if linguistic sophistication (all if my courses are taught in Spanish this semester), but they are also extremely engaged and excited by the course material. I can literally feel them hanging on my every word. This gets to the point where I fear that what I have to impart will not rise to the level of their expectations.
And I just saw a group of my students get together after class to read medieval Spanish poetry collectively.
I made a joke about students throwing parties to go over conjugations of Spanish verbs and I get a feeling these students might just do that.

Don’t feel shocked, dear! And don’t ask yourself if you are up to the students’ expectations – simply because you are definitely above all expectations.
But it’s great to hear that the students are up to yours, and even above them.

Enjoy it while it lasts! For next semester, alas, they might totally suck…
But yes, occasionally stars align and you get an unbelievably good class. It’s awesome when it happens, and totally restores one’s faith in teaching.

It’s just the semester where the CIA has booked your classes so they can test their up-and-coming field agents on Spanish language skills, mind you.
Relax, it’ll be back to normal levels next semester. 🙂
