Awww, I'm so glad you're enjoying teaching so much! You're teaching college students, yes?
As for the facebook issue, I think as a teacher you have to have an actual policy and stick to it. No friending students while they're still students. After the fact, sure. But while they're in your class, it seems dicey to me. But if any of them ask you about it, you can tell them your policy and that way no one can get upset if you treat different students differently.
OMG! LJ sucks ass! I never got a notice about your comment! I only saw it because I came by my LJ today to just look around.

Only a month and a half late. I fail. With LJs help, of course.
Well, I have added my students back, though it's still awkward when it comes to commenting on their posts. But whatever.
Oh! OH OH OH! I'm a finalist for the campuswide (or is that campus-wide?) Student Led Award for Teaching Excellence! I can't believe it! I'm so pumped about it. I know I'm not going to win because I'm up against THE ENTIRE REST OF THE TAMU FACULTY, but the fact that I'm a finalist? AWESOME! *bounces around*
