Watching Grass Grow

The fun in Columbus this week has consisted of a day and a half of new faculty orientation followed by printing file folder labels and filing 150 old journal articles. It's a party, I tell you.

On the plus side, we are finally under a week until classes begin. I just met with the teaching associate for my large undergraduate class -- principles of strategic communication -- and I am very excited about it. We are going to try a lot of things to reduce the anonymity associated with a large lecture class.
