Smooth start

The first stack of essays for the semester

The start of this semester has been unbelievably smooth. When I walked into my 8:30 class on Monday morning I had

• a schedule (that hadn't changed since I had gotten the official copy the previous Thursday)
• books
• classrooms with lab assignments 
• syllabus and schedule and rubric
• electronic learning site with grading set up
• Turnitin account set up
• up-to-date class rosters

By Tuesday I had signed my contract.

When I left campus on Thursday afternoon, support service preparations were nearly complete (I had submitted a request to update the electronic data tracking system for the tutoring room and lab, which wasn't fulfilled by the time I left). But, I had completed

• tutoring schedule
• tutoring flier
• tutoring sign up sheet
• tutoring recommendation form
• open lab schedule
• open lab flier
• workshop schedule (including room reservations)
• workshop flier
• classroom visit schedule for the upcoming Tuesday

As I said, it's unbelievable.

I'm so excited about my schedule. I'm teaching two sections of writing and I don't have evening classes!
