It's unusual to arrive in Milwaukee and discover warmer temperatures than those left behind. Last week, I experienced that phenomenon. Even saying "last week" surprises me because it feels like it's been so much longer.

The first week of classes has gone fairly well. The team teaching research project has finally been approved by all of the various committees. Brick and I have not yet killed each other, and have actually, I think, done a fairly good job at working together. We need to work on transitions and presenting a united front, but the concepts are being taught.

My own classes are less than thrilling this semester. I suppose that's what I get for procrastinating and putting off the classes I didn't want to take. The practice MA looms - took a practice question yesterday and am terrified anew at the vast amount of knowledge I don't really know.
