last day of summer

wondering why it is so hot today?  apparently mother nature noticed that tomorrow night is the autumnal equinox, aka "the first day of spring."  so my thinking is that she decided: "one more shot at the heat thing!  :-)


so here's something in advance of tomorrow:




anyway....


let's talk classes...


ALL CLASSES:  The biggest thing tonight is to set up a membership on the boards.  To do this: click this link or the one at the top of this page and, once there, click on "register."  Then follow these instructions (and note that they differ slightly from what I told you in class):

• Select a username.  If you are not in CW, it should be your real name.
• Type in your email (school email or another that you actually check regularly).
• Type in the password "scouts" (all lowercase).  You may change this later.
• Type it in again.
• Finish registering by filling in the verification word(s).  
• Send.

At this point you will need to wait for a response from me.  I need to verify your membership and assign you to a membergroup.  This latter step, once simple, has been complicated for some reason by the need to enter a password: hence the need to have all PWs the same.  If you filled out your membership before reading this, I will have changed your PW to "scouts" for you. Once you log in as yourself, go ahead and change it to whatever you desire.

CW: Post your "after art" piece and a few sentences about your conference today in the "After Art" board under "Creative Writing."  See the opening topic "The Assignment" for details.

E3H: Post your "metapoem" piece and a few sentences about your conference today (if you had one) in the "Metapoems" board under "E3H/Writing Workshop."  See the opening topic "The Assignment" for details.

E2CP: Post your "transcendental" piece in the "Transcendental Piece" board under "E2CP."  See the opening topic "The Assignment" for details.

and just for fun, or if you are an actor looking to hone your craft...
