Well got some news. My wife will be giving birth to my son in two weeks, so I am somewhat in a mixed sense of emotions right now. But I guess I should be happy... 
Furthermore, will be teaching my very first course, an Introduction to Modern Cosmology. Although, I am somewhat displeased with some aspects. Was forced to take up the worst textbook in history for this subject, "Modern Cosmology" by Scott Dodelson. Not the best book ever, it is too difficult, I would say for undergraduate students, so it is NOT a book I would recommend to any instructor in Cosmology.
However, I certainly will use some discretion. I will begin with Boltzmann equations rather then a mad jump unto the general FLRW and Friedmann equations. I think it makes more sense to begin with them.
Right now I got 49 students registered.

It's understandable if you have a little bit of nervousness or apprehensiveness. You want to be the best father you can, I'm sure.
Best wishes!
