So your next assignment — that “Life is Change” thing — is officially placed in your WEEKLY ASSIGNMENT FOLDER if you want to go look at it. Personally, I like it when students interpret things in their own way. More to think about, because learning is a PrOCeSs.

I am trying to remember names. Dana, Fenelon, Lamar, Husnain, Mishal, Denver, Edmond, Matthew, Anthony…the more you talk with me, hopefully the more I will remember. I really enjoyed getting the First Day out of the way and having the opportunity to greet all of you. So much I wanna tell you.

By next time: please have already joined OpenLab and completed your Intro Post and commented on other people’s posts. (If you hit “OLDER POSTS” at the bottom of the screen, you can find people who may not have gotten any comments yet.)

I must say that I am interested in the fact that a number of people are into anime. Do I, personally, know much about this? Frankly, no; but I like to learn new things; is there some idea you have for how we can discuss it in class? I’d listen.

ZOOMLINKS are in the menu, above, for joining next class. Scroll down to find all the Thursday links.

If you want to chat with me and ask me stuff before next class, please find me on Discord (invite link below). Caution, I am new to Discord. Thank you. : – )

Wednesday from noon–1:00PM is when you would find me there: https://discord.gg/Vhf5NwZV

This is a photo of Georges Perec, the man who wrote “A Void.” He wrote it in French, without the letter “e,” and it was later translated into English without the letter, “e.” Its original title was “La Disparition” (The Disappearance).

Be safe. Be well. ‘Till soon.

this is me right now. Dark chocolate is key.

Tomorrow is our first class! I am going to copy the links to join on Zoom, below.

I will have my camera and mic on; I expect all my students to do the same.

I keep some drinks or snacks nearby — please do that, too. And be sure to access our class from a computer — not just a smartphone. I try give a break during class, even if it is short; if I forget to do that, can you please remind me?

I am excited and just a little bit nervous to meet you all.

Oh, and have some paper and pen ready? We take notes.
