I had timed out the whole day on my notes and was right on schedule until about half way through. Utimately I ran long by about 15 minutes and sadly had to rush the last section. The people in the class made this a very enjoyable experience &#8211; I wasn&#8217;t nervous about having enough material (in fact I was throwing stuff out right up until yesterday), but I was a bit concerned about keeping everyone engaged though a five hour session. As it turned out we had a great dynamic &#8211; people shared their experiences, asked questions, and participated in some great discussions. I&#8217;m excited now about an opportunity to do this again, with obvious tuning based on today&#8217;s experience. And lemon and honey tea to fight off a subsequent day of hoarseness.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a title=\"Part of My Class by r o s e n d a h l, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/rosendahl\/6361968919\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm7.staticflickr.com\/6216\/6361968919_f5b4f80a2a_b.jpg\" alt=\"Part of My Class\" width=\"1024\" height=\"630\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">There were about 40 people in attendence, but I only remembered to take the picture after the class was over.
