Well, at least the professor invited me back next semester- so that's gotta count for something, right? Or maybe, it was the fact that I brought candy? I figured graduate students still like treats, so even if my lecture was boring, at least they had something yummy to snack on.
P.S. In all seriousness though- being a professor is my DREAM JOB. I really love my job, but being back in the classroom reminded me how much I really love school (and what a big nerd I am.)

PhD! PhD! PhD!
Just do it!
I wish you had a picture of yourself and the audience, but I guess that would have been distractive. I'm sure you were great...without a doubt!
I hope you started the lecture with some Alzheimers trivia to go with the chocolate! I'm sure you were fabulous!
My first guest lecture was in an Old English lit class at TX A&M. After I read "Beowulf" in the old English, the prof. jumped up on the table and re-enacted what I'd read - weird and memorable. Teaching college is the most awesome job, but I don't recommend the Ph. D, way too stressful, and it sucks the fun out of school. Glad you had a good experience. I still have ex-students email me and refer to me as the candy lady, an excellent trick to have in your bag for kids and bored students.
wow, you are really are like a grown-up now! Congrats on a good lecture...and what was it on...do write up a post about that :)
woa, I am way behind on my blogs.
I am very impressed! And would think it was a treat enough to have you as a guest lecturer.
