Back to Work

Well, I'm back at work teaching 2 new classes at BYU-I for the fall semester. There is no more "English 111," in all of its former glory and splendor . . . all 1st year students now take FDENG 101, or Foundations of English. We are all using the same texts, too, which caused some consternation among some of the long-time teachers; I don't really care about the change (from a syllabus point ot view), and I do think it is a good idea that we're able to provide approximately the same things for a class that every single student has to take. It is challenging trying to get used to one of the tyextbooks, which is online.

In other news, Mila and Tal are enjoying school . . . we have been adopted by a stray dog . . . Comely is preggers with twins . . . Rupert has returned to his home in Shelley (in proud consciousness of duty done) . . . and Omi and I bottled a million quarts of applesauce the other day.
