Happy Fall 06

I am sorry that I haven't been around much lately (and I mean that in the virtual and physical sense). I finally managed to settle my schedule for this semester, and although Thursdays are going to be miserable, it's actually quite manageable.

I am teaching on Tuesdays, and am holding office hours on Thursday, from 6-6:50pm. I met the class for the first time this week, and I can already tell that this experience is going to be an extremely fertile source of blogging material. I am also working on an interesting project, to see how wikis can be used in math education (or not used, I don't know yet).

The campus is drastically different. For one, our once pristine ivy walks are now infested with numerous individuals who have only a miniscule understanding of differential calculus. On the other hand, the men's track team is back to their frequent shirtless jogs on said ivy walks. And who can object to that, really.

The new semester spririt is infectious, in wonderful, positive ways - crisp fall mornings, new notebooks, sharp pencils, and this semester, a red pen. I love the first day of school. Happy Fall 06 everyone!
