Whew--it's getting hotter, 30+ degrees centigrade, real summer.
Luckily, the air conditioner has been on strongly enough in room 811 where I have to two lecture classes, and has been OK in the other rooms. So this year's first year students seemed to like Edgar Allan Poe's "Annabel Lee"! Nine of them posted comments about it on our class blog (the largest number of comments I think all semester), including one girl who said the rhythm is like skipping, which gave me great joy, and led me to do a bit of skipping in class while saying, "it was MAny and MAny a YEAR ago..." But--oh, no--I forgot that we must have a Friday class as usual on July 8, and then a "Friday" class on the very next Saturday, July 9, due to the crazy schedule Fukudai forces on us to ensure we have 15 meetings for each class each semester... And i forgot to tell the students about it yesterday... so it will be hard for them to do homework over night... so... Maybe I'll give their last quiz at the end of class on Saturday!?! ANYWAY, the end of the semester is really in sight! See you next Saturday--
