Off I go to start the semester. Is the first day of class really always a throwaway? Can you communicate something worthwhile in 50 minutes when everyone is still unsure whether they'll stay in the class? I always feel like there's a lot of nervous shifting around, or expectant waiting (but noone is sure for what, exactly). Since it's almost 8:30 I need to get moving...
Does everyone agonize about the first entry? I'm sure it shouldn't be so hard. I can delete it, after all. Well anyway, out we go...
