first impressions

I also have a little bit of a cold, so don't worry about it. In fact, I think I might have a sinus infection because it hasn't gone away yet and I have had it for like 3 weeks. Anyways, my first impression of the class today was good. Except, for the weird seating arrangement that occured for some reason (all the guys on one side and all the girls on the other). It felt a little like a middle school dance.

I really enjoyed the first assignment today. I hadn't done anything like that before, and I felt like it was a great way to get to know you. But, the one flaw that I saw was that our group did not work together. After the interviewing session ended, we split up and began furiously typing on our own. If you do this assignment again, you should probably have the students work alone and ask their own questions, either that or give the groups 10 minutes after the interview to let them discuss their notes before writing.

Wow, when you said you were a photographer for Climbing, I was shocked. That is exactly what I wanted to do when I first came to the UO. I used to really be into climbing and I wanted to write for them and travel around and climb. I bet it was awesome.

It sounds like it's going to be a fun class.
