I have decided to teach the class.
Two evenings a week. I can leave my regular work to go swimming before class as I have 2 hours in between.
After teaching the class for a few years (even with an interruption this past year) I feel pretty confident. I am teaching Principles of Economics and all I need is to incorporate recent examples or issues to better explain the theory. Just theory would be too dry for me and the students, making the class pretty boring. Real world examples bring a class to life and most of the time spurs the students to participate in discussion regarding issues or subjects that they have heard on the news or read in a paper (or blog, or news site). One thing is certain: there are and will be plenty of real life examples regarding both Micro and Macro Economics with what is going on today.

That was a little weight off my shoulder. Will see how this Semester goes and I will have a beeter idea with my schedule if I want to continue in the Spring and afterwards.
