First Day

So today, inaguration day, is the first day of the new semester for me.  First day of classes is always, always kinda boring--going over syllabi, learning students' names.  But starting a new semester always feels good, like a fresh start.  It's a time to reassess and set goals and all that kind of thing.  One of my goals is to spend more time prepping for class (but not more time grading!).  I so enjoy the prep work when I set aside the time to do it properly. 

Well, I'm off to 20th Century Children's Lit!
