Semester Break is Over . . . . .


It's hard for me to believe that my last post to this blog was for Christmas---that seems SOOOO long ago. . . .

While, like most of my students, I've been busy during the semester break, my routine was completely different than during "school" --- and one of the things that I became lax about was posting to this blog. (Those who know me well know it's NOT for a (1) lack of opinions, (2) things to say, or (3) things I know anything about--not that the first two have EVER required the last one . . . .)

Here we are in January (temperature outside this morning is 8 degrees) and welcome to the Spring Semester???? (Truth in advertising, shouldn't we call it the "Start out freezing your tail feathers, then slogging through the March mud, and then, when the weather really starts to get decent, we hit you with FINALs" Semester?) Ok, for the sake of brevity, we'll stick with "Spring." Brrrrrr!

I've been to all the rubber-chicken faculty meetings, wrestled with syllabi and assignment grids, spruced up my faculty web page, and decided that paperless doesn't work for most things in a traditional classroom setting. Tell Weyerhauser to keep plantin' trees . . . .

So, this here'll be the first of many posts in the new year, new semester, and in five short days, a new Presidency.

Ain't new beginnings great?????
