Hi Pam,

I don't know that I'd call myself an "artist" although I've loved to draw and paint since childhood and do have talent. (I do mostly portraits, some still life's)...to ME an "artist" is someone who actually DOES ART on a full time basis, or at least more consistently than I do!

Yes there will be before and after pics...just picking out what to wear..

Got lots of work done today (lectures and such). Found out from my T.A. that one of my class averages was in the low 50's on my midterm!

Not sure what's up there...that's about 10% lower than normal. I'll have to check the item analyses to see if the questions were poor (not likely!) or the students just not up to snuff this year.

This IS the first year in Canada that they've gotten rid of what was essentially 13th grade, a University level track. So my large classes are due in part to this "double cohort" and perhaps the younger kids aren't quite as prepared as they thought?

We'll see.

CJ's working hard on a project for school...got to help him out some with some statistical stuff (Yeah, I've taught the dreaded stats course too).

Figure I'll post until dinner settles, do some yoga and weights and then hop in the tub for some meditation.

Shiny
