Course Control Numbers

Hey Everyone.

The first forty CCNs went out today to folks who both came to the first class and sent me a statement of interest (surprisingly, there were exactly forty of y’all). Those who received CCNs will have until Sunday at noon to enroll in the class via Telebears. Any remaining seats after that will be reopened and more CCNs will be sent out. We are still trying to expand the class though, so hopefully we’ll be able to have everyone enrolled by next week.

Have a great weekend,
Kat

HomeWork & Reading for Week 2 Sept 14

Hey all!

1) Journal about the causes of stress in your lives and how you currently deal with it. Everyday, make at least a list of the stresses.
2) Read http://www.intentblog.com/archives/2007/05/a_dialogue_with_1.html
3) Read the excerpt (TBA) from Aldous Huxley’s The Perennial Philosophy. The link and page numbers for this will be sent out later.

Cheers!

A Little More About This Blog

Although the luddites are giving in and academia has been experiencing a techno boom of late, not many classes utilize a blog as part of their educational interface. We will be using this blog as a way to communicate with you, almost in the way other classes use a blackboard or a bspace. All homework assignments will be posted here, as well as many readings and links for the class. We will also likely be posting other information, events, meetings, and so forth that might interest you. Please feel free to comment or to send us anything you think other people in the class will be interested in knowing more about. I’m unfortunately new to wordpress, so I can’t tell you how to set up an RSS feed or anything, but I’d recommend checking this blog frequently.

Peace and Love,
Kat

Edit: More on the blog at our about page.

Hey Everybody.

We were all very excited at the turnout we saw in our first class yesterday. It was cool meeting you all and we’re very excited to be sharing the semester with each of you.  We had 49 people in class yesterday and, as yet, we only have space for 40. No worries though:  we are petitioning to to enroll all of you and are very hopeful about the results. We’ll be emailing out CCNs as soon as we hear back about that.

Kat
