The first day of orientation went fairly well with a controlled amount of me not knowing what was going on. Mistakes were minor, like me forgetting to tell the students certain things, and other people in charge totally helped me out. We seem to have a good group of incoming students who are interested in the social aspect of our community as well as the academic--it seems a little like my first year.
Brandon is gone for the next two nights, so I have the place to myself which is nice. Perhaps I'll get laundry put away that I've had in my room for about a week...
We had our final composition teacher meeting yesterday and wow, was there a lot of information. And so much of it about posting things online, making websites, using internet/communal resources. Though I love the internet (you know that don't you, Internet?) I'm not familiar with these things, but I've been told that some people at Drew are specialists at helping the tech-uneducated get educated. And ain't that what it's all about--getting educated?

I'm kind of supposed to be using Blackboard as an interactive place for my students to go online. But all I did was slap up my syllabus and unit schedule and call it good. I'm pretty uncomfortable with doing things online.
When you start teaching we really need to chat.
Yeah, we have to make sure all our students use Blackboard this year. See, those servers are in D.C. so if the worst happens again they'll still run so we can get messages to students when the Loyola servers are down because they're under water. Of course, that doesn't deal with what would happen if D.C. gets hit by terrorists, or floods, which it did partially earlier this year, being partly below sea-level and all.
Yeah.
Thanks for putting those messages up, Brooke. I wish I had more record of pre-K. I just finished watching A Love Song for Bobby Long (filmed pre-K) and seeing everything that I remember, from bars to houses down to trees - as in, I know that tree - and comparing it to now ... well, I'm a mess.
Yeah.
So Drunk Dale's gonna go now.
