First Week of Classes

I took this picture Thursday morning at 7:55...  It's a class of 31 freshman English majors that starts at 8:00 a.m.  I had their final exams from last semester waiting for them when they got in, and here they are, all 31 of them, poring over their three page tests in search of clues as to how they can do better this term.

Not hard to find motivation to be the best teacher I can be for them!

Moving Ben

We have a new teammate from South Carolina this term (Anna Mathis, pictured far left.)  One of our veterans (Ben Brewer, pictured far right) offered to move to an off campus apartment, so that his new teammate wouldn't have to (such a gentleman!)...

The apartments are only a couple of hundred yards apart, but with security gates, curbs, and nothing with wheels besides a bicycle to lighten the load, it ended up being a nice little workout for the five of us!
