It all starts tomorrow

Tomorrow it all begins. At 10am I give a welcome-to-college, welcome-to-COA motivational speech thing to entering students. A few days of orientation and then classes on Thursday. Weeks of mayhem will ensue. In the next month I'll be writing two or maybe three grants. I'll be teaching two classes and working on the chaos textbook that I'm writing. I think it will be a crazy but productive term. I like deadlines and I even like some kinds of stress. I should have plenty.
