last first day

Right now they're typing their obituaries and I'm wearing my teacher pants. I know that if I tell them what I really want to, which is, You might be my last class for a while, I might scare them. And I know that I also shouldn't disclose that I have a small nosebleed and have spent the last ten minutes reading aloud the syllabus with blood dripping steadily down the back of my throat. They already think the obit thing is a little creepy, so better hold off on the bodily fluids. It is, after all, the first day.
