Hi GL Team!

How was your holiday weekend? Mine was relaxing. I didn't end up going to Arizona because there was an ice storm that prevented us from driving to the airport two hours away. We had a lot of family Wii bowling and racquetball tournaments and I read a really good Jodi Picoult book.

We have four GL's scheduled so far for December. I just rostered you in for them.  Let's talk with David today in our meeting about what sort of projects we could work on while it's slow in December and January. We usually have GL's trickling in still throughout this time, but not as many.

I will begin harvesting professor email addresses for the spring semester and David and I will send out invites that will spark interest for the spring GL schedule. This will keep me busy while things are slow and prepare for a very busy spring.

With that said, are you all liking the new scheduling system? Is it working out for you to check in with the Google calendar and Google Master schedule? How about this blog? Would you rather me email you? I'd love to hear from you all on what works for you and what doesn't. Each time I schedule a new GL in the google calendar, there is the option to "invite" you to it. This just means you would receive an email notice about the GL that was just scheduled. Let me know if you would like me to do that each time I schedule one, because it is an option. I just wasn't sure if you wanted your inbox cluttered with these when you can simply go in and look at the calendar. On the flipside, I don't want you to feel surprised either. Most of the time, when a GL is scheduled without the two week notice, I email you anyway.

Let me know your thoughts! :-).

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and now the Xmas madness begins. Today is Cyber Monday! Free shipping at Barnes and Noble and just about everywhere else!

See you at the meeting in a few....

Warmly,
Michelle

Hi GL Team

Hi!

How's it going? This is just a quick note to let you know that we may have three new workshops scheduled beginning Monday, November 29th from Frances Fister-Stoga. She requested them for three different classes and I'm waiting for her confirmation. So, look for those on the schedule soon.

Does anyone need out of any classes? If so, let me know :)

Also, if you are scheduled a lecture that runs through Thanksgiving, please feel free to take the day off of the lecture and spend it with your family. You can answer students on Friday if you are not out shopping like all the other crazy people that get up at three in the morning to find deals.

I also heard that Alicia's new book is out in print and kindle. I am excited to read it. Here is the link:

News in Wisconsin: Hunting starts. I am not thrilled about this, but will thankfully be gone during most of the shooting sprees and orange apparel in the woods. Also, a man in Wisconsin shot his TV because he was mad about Bristol Palin on DWTS. Have I mentioned how much I love this state? (said with sarcasm)

I am going to Arizona for Thanksgiving, but will have my laptop with. :)

Have a good day!
Michelle

November Classes Rostered

Hi All!

I hope you had a Happy Halloween.

You are now rostered into all November classes. Please continue to let me know what classes you are done with and I will remove you. This has been working out great.

See you all in our meeting @ 12:30!
Michelle
