Convocation day at the college -- great speaker William Strauss who wrote several books about differences of generation through history.  He spoke about using new teaching methods and techiniques for the Millennial generation - everything in life is changing--- why then do we ask students to learn the same things in the same ways.  Very thought provoking - interestingly Mr. Strauss is a co-founder of the Capitol Steps - so you can see his presentation was very entertaining.  We also gave a surprise shower for our Department Dean who is due to give birth to her first child in early November.  Was an extermely busy day.  Well classes begin tomorrow and then the place will really become alive and exciting.  I prefer to exercise at home Leslie Sansone or The Firm DVD&#39;s -- and as long as I take the time everyday they work for me just fine.
