My summer class ended yesterday :( They were such a great group. We met 5 days a week for 6 weeks I'm going to miss seeing them. The final was a little rough for some of them, but the final grades came out okay (I turned them in last night.) They said some really nice things on their way out of class :)
I have something closely resembling a syllabus for my Weimar seminar, woo! The bibliography is so overwhelming I ended up borrowing a bunch of articles from the syllabus when I took the class at Williams. We'll see how it goes.
Today I went to the library to gather books for regular and electronic reserves. I'm way past the deadline for fall semester so I felt nervous about just submitting it electronically and ending up in the library's queue (they need the books by Wednesday.) Although I know that profs are late all the time I'm still too neurotic. The (older, male) librarian was surprised and amused that I was pulling the books myself. When I asked if I could put things on reserve he said "for who?". Yes, I still look like a graduate student :)
I really love the idea of electronic reserves. They do the scanning for me! I really hope once I see the scans I'm still just as excited. There are still a few things that I'm just putting on regular(?) manual(?) plain old book reserves because I want them to look at the pictures in color.
My modern class is coming along as well. I'm about half-way through reworking the syllabus of the guy who taught the class before me. It helps to have a place to start.
Now I just need to put together a lecture for the Modern class and some sort of opening remarks for the Weimar seminar. (Oh and everything for my UMD freshman connections class, but that doesn't start for a week and a half so I'm not there yet.)
