beginning of the semester - getting better at it even though I still get anticipatory jitters. This semester promises to be a great one. It will be my third semester teaching writing. Conventional wisdom says the third semester is the one where things start to flow smoothly. First semester for teaching Intro to Media and Single Camera Video Production. I've been eagerly waiting to teach the production course.

This must have been an interesting meeting.

Uneventful gray day with a slight mist. Went by the gym and over to one of my sister's friends for a great dinner. Sat outside afterwards and enjoyed the view of the crescent moon.
