Fall semester is coming...

Yes, it's August, and that means Fall semester is coming. The official first day of classes is Monday, August 19 ... and if all goes well, I'll be opening the classes early for anyone who wants to get a head start.

Update: The Canvas classes are now open! There is still a lot I am working on, but I think it's safe to get started. I'll send around an email to the class on Friday to make the early start official, but feel free to begin now if you want: Orientation.


Meanwhile, to reflect on the way the years keep rolling around and around, here's a lovely Brian Eno video about times and days: Just Another Day.





Oh it's just another day
It's just another day on Earth

Oh it's just another day
Just another day
It's just another day on Earth

Oh it's just another day on Earth
It's just another day on Earth

One day, we will put it all behind
We'll say, that was just another time
We'll say, that was just another day on Earth

We'll say, that was just another time
One day, we will put it all behind
We'll say, that was just another day on Earth

Just another day
It's just another day
Oh it's just another day on Earth


Majors in the class. While setting up the course rosters, I realized I could download a spreadsheet that shows the majors of students enrolled in the class. i thought that was pretty cool! Here is a word cloud; you should be able to find your major there: pre-med and pre-PA are the two biggest groups, and I think that's great: storytelling is a good skill for health professionals to have!
