I bet my students are you glad we had class outside on Tuesday as it is so chilly today Yes, I know it was noisy with the jets and people walking around us. During the earlier class, we also had to contend with noise from the groundskeepers who were using riding lawnmowers and electric trimmers. I am sure they won't just be glad today: After a couple days of rain in November when we have to run from building to building, we will all think back to sitting on the grass for a warm afternoon.
I hope my students didn't find Thursday's class too boring. I really wanted them to have certain tools--transition words. Maybe I should have thought of a better way to deliver the information. Gotta work on that! Oh well, at least I am sure they understood it the way it was delivered.
Today I need to run out and get The End, the last book in A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snickett (http://www.lemonysnicket.com/). Maybe I should recommend these books for my college students. The books might be on the right level but I doubt they have time to actually read. I remember having very little time when I was in school. Of course, I was working too--something my students don't have to do. Also, tonight I am supposed to have an iftar dinner--a Ramadan dinner after sunset.
