First Impressions on a New Semester

I learned what my classes would be on Friday, where the classrooms were on Sunday, and got the official rosters late Monday afternoon. It turns out that you don't really need to know what you're teaching or who exactly is supposed to be in your classroom in order to have a great first day! The students were friendly, patient, cooperative, and even participated. I know it's far too early to predict, but that was an impressive start....
