When I asked Beth to help choose a tie to symbolize "stress relief" -- the scheduled topic for my Honors Freshman Seminar class today -- she suggested these teal-and-blue flowers. I thought that was an excellent choice. This morning brought some sudden extra stress, when the Counseling Center staff told me that they would not be able to meet with us! This news arrived just before my Beginning Ethics class, while I was also working on a question about the Blackboard system (my main job). So I got to practice my own personal stress management skills, looking at my tie, taking a deep breath and figuring out how to alert the students that we would not be "Zooming" today but would meet in our ordinary classroom . . . and we'll have our online class about stress relief next week!
