Fall Semester!
Classes started today here at Loyola. While it might seem odd to be terribly excited about the end of summer break, the start of the fall semester is pretty big here--since we haven't had a fall semester since 2004! Katrina hit on what was supposed to be the first day of classes (tomorrow, as I am sure tv has let you all know, is the anniversary) last fall. Given the circumstances, it is pretty great to be here reading syllabi to a room full of students. And with Ernesto seemingly coming nowhere near here, we should be sitting pretty (for now...).
