Well. 


We're back into the swing of things for Game Design Class—one class this year with 19 students, seventeen boys and two girls. It's an interesting combination. This is the smallest number of girls I have had in my game design class. It will be interesting to see what affect, if any, this will have on the type of games developed or the output of the class. 


I have an assistant this year, a senior student. He is a great young man and has been in my graphics classes for four years and he previously took the Game Design Class. It is wonderful to have him in the class, assisting the students. 


This has been the most hectic of starts for me this year, because my free time after school and this summer before school began, has been spent in a frenzy of activity. Our daughter got married on July 22, with all the attendant planning and organizing. Also, we were—and are—in the middle of selling our house and moving. We close on Friday of this week. Since the wedding, It has been nonstop work, getting two places ready, one to move out of and one to move into. This has really impacted outside of school prep and planning time. Thankfully, we are almost done and things should be getting back to normal. A new normal, with a married daughter and a new home, but a norman none the less.
