What in the hell is happening at UVA

So at around 9:20 this morning, I was in my classroom preparing for class – getting my slides ready and setting up the recording – and my phone buzzed. We were told to shelter in place.

On lockdown. We're on the second movie.

UVA ALERT LATEST: Academic classes at UVA are canceled until further notice. Continue to shelter in place where you are.

I had class at 8:30 on Wednesday morning. It led to a good photo op at least.

I guess teaching a class that ends at 7:45 in the evening has its perks.

We've had over a week of significant rain, public K-12 schools have been closed since Friday, and last week we had power outages, trees down, and area roads flooded. Today, as the rains finally end, we finally got an email from the university about inclement weather. Seems timely.

Students seem excited to pay money to hit me in the face with a pie is what I learned today.

I walked into my classroom this morning and these two lists of names were written in the whiteboards. My class could not determine what the prompts were for these except the second name is a TV character.

Using A.I. in Google search results seems to be going great. Yes, many people are asking what is UvA school?

I have never wanted to be part of a biology research lab before, but this whiteboard has my interest piqued.

There's a friend visiting the Chemistry Department today! Stop by and say hi. (He's very friendly. Maybe just a bit camera shy.)

Happy 2024. It is my resolution to not forget about this app.

Is 34 °F too cold to work outside this morning? I'm going to find out.

Collected some leaves from the yard with the youngest kid today. Not a bad haul.

Nice day for a soccer match.
