Hrm...

Apparently what it takes for me to be a REALLY GOOD lecturer is to turn me loose on material that I really, REALLY love.  I suppose I knew this...  but today was the first time I got to really lecture about symbolic interaction and it was far and away the best lecture I've given, possibly ever.  So that was nice.

The question is, how do I get myself that excited about the bits that I just am not as interested in, for the sake of consistently delivering lectures that good?
