Poor, Poor Pluto...

Well, the demotion is official. Pluto is no longer considered a planet. You can check the history of Pluto's journey here.

On a different note, I met the students in my new class yesterday, Pauline Letters 1: Galatians and the Thessalonian Correspondence. I thought the class had maxed out at 25, but arrived yesterday to discover that once the cap was met, an executive decision was made to raise the cap to over 40. As of yesterday I had somewhere in the neighborhood of 35 students in my class. That's big for an upper division seminar! The class has a lot of diversity: religion majors and non, gender diversity, racial diversity, athletes, crazy/popular kids, and the more studious/sedate types. I think it has the potential to be a great class, with a lot of potential to shape some kids who need it. I just hope that I can figure out how to manage that much grading!
