Strange Times

 I've been teaching at my university for 31 years cumulatively. We always begin the academic year with some planning meetings. This is the first time we do not have a Planning Week with everyone gathered together. Instead we had a video address from our president and a bunch of isolated video meetings.

Ah, pandemic.

Beginning of Semester

The summer break is coming to an end, with classes starting in two weeks.  There is still more work for me to do before then but I feel in pretty good shape with my preparation. Time will tell if all of my university's preparations have made the campus safe enough or if COVID will spread like wildfire.
