Quentin's Weeknotes 8/28/22-9/3/22

This Week:

  • Classes began at Hartwick, including mine. I am teaching a 2 credit short course on North American material culture, up to 1700 (give or take). This week we talked about material culture and approaches to analyzing it.
  • With my son, I finished reading “Half Magic” by Edward Eager, a clever and funny book about a group of siblings who find a magical charm that grants wishes…but only half of what you wish for. Hilarity and exploration ensue.
  • I spent a lot of time just trying to figure out schedules–work study, classes, and my own life for the next few weeks and months.
