• I have 23 people enrolled in my "Write Your Own Will" class at the local community college.

  23!!

  It was supposed to be a maximum 16 students, but I got a call from the
  college a few weeks ago informing me that the class was full, and had 6
  people on the wait list.  They wanted me to offer another section
  of the class, but I just don't really have the time.  So I told
  them to allow a max of 30 students.  

  I am a little scared.  I've taught a few classes - tutored
  economics in college, did training classes for former employers, lead
  some study groups in law school.  So, I know I can handle
  it.  But it's been awhile since I've done any sort of teaching.

  I am sure it will be fine.  I've decided to make it somewhat of a
  hands on class, with stuff for the students to fill out during class
  like names of beneficiaries, etc.

  Thing is, I am doing this on a volunteer basis.  I know I am
  providing a valuable service to the community, and that is a good
  feeling.  I just hope these students aren't too demanding. 
  There's only so much help I am willing to provide for free, you
  know?  This class is certainly not meant for people with large or
  complex estates.  I suppose those with large or complex estates
  can probably afford to hire an attorney to write a will for them, and
  wouldn't bother paying just $15 to take a community college class,
  right?

  *sigh*

  I guess I just have to wait and see.
