The “Busy” Starts Today

I’m not sad to see it go, but I’m sure I’ll be longing for it in a few weeks. I’ve really enjoyed my six week break before the start of classes this summer. Jeanna and I constantly joke that this will likely be the last summer break ever, and I suppose it’s true. If that’s the case, it seems that my last summer break ever ended when I went to bed last night, because today’s agenda is full.

As you might expect, there are lots of errands to run and documents to get in order. I have to finish setting up my office. Most importantly, though, I have to make sure my Trapper Keeper is organized and ready to go. Funny, isn’t it. It’s only been about 20 years since Trapper Keepers were considered “high tech” in the classroom. Now my “Trapper Keeper” is a ThinkPad X61. All my notes, calendars, to-do lists, and contacts are kept inside, and at its mercy.

I thought you might be interested in seeing my course calendar for the next few months. I inserted it into Google Calendar (where I manage my agenda), so feel free to follow along if you wish.
