school is starting up

We are in the last minutes of the Orientation for the new grad student teachers here at Tech. It has been 8 intense days -- 8 very full days -- with very wonderful teachers. The level of care and thinking about teaching has been inspiring to me, and I am thankful to Karen, Shannon, Nat, Becky, and Ethan for their sustaining intelligences, patience, and humor. I am so looking forward to our discussions this semester about teaching.

(And how to thank Christy and Moe, who are extraordinary? Winning lottery tickets? A pass on comps? Six weeks in Florence?)
