Lightening Up

"Hans, you need to lighten up. You look so tense."

That's what one of my AEW students said to me today at the end of class. To tell the truth, I am excited about AEW. We have a lively and fun group of students this semester, and I foresee a great semester of differential equations with them. I was lightened up.

To tell the truth again, it seems that I am pretty good at hiding my emotions behind a stoic facade. Whether it is healthy for me or not is another story.

Unfortunately, I am the same way. I have made little kids cry merely with soft-spoken words.

Let loose. Lighten up, Hans. But I cannot say that I take my own advice.
