Easier Thursday

I only gave two lectures today, as the other two classes were taking their first exam. I actually had both tests written and printed yesterday. That's almost unheard of for me. No clue how they've done yet, and it may be busy in the Math 108 lab tomorrow so I don't know if I'll get any graded there or not. The past two Fridays have been very slow; no more than five people in at a time while I was there. Tomorrow, though, is the deadline for the first Quiz. Linda tells me that it's not as crazy as it used to be, since Luther changed the "certification" (computer homework) requirements. It used to be that they had to get all but one done before the quiz, then get that one done before the exam that went with that quiz, to get the "bonus." Now, they have to get them all done by the quiz. Still, with this being the very first deadline, it may still be slammed. We shall see.

Re: Tao te Ching

Isn't this idea pretty much summed up in LeGuin's Creation of Ea?

Yup. Probably one of the reasons I like the Earthsea Cycle so much.

I mostly like dragons.

That's a good one. I can't remember if that one made it into my quotes list or not...
