I am leaving for Jacksonville early Sat. morning. I have a 6 day trip for my second PhD residency, which involves intensive seminars for doctoral students who are about at the same place I am in the course of the program. Bringing a laptop and I'm rather happy about going and leaving some of the home/work pressures temporarily in the hands of others so I can focus on school, writing and a little peace and quiet. I'm not one for doing exploration into new cities for some reason...but I'll see if there's a museum or something different for a short excursion.

All bases covered--my lesson plans have been left in the responsible hands of another faculty member covering my teaching next week. My students should have a blast, they are viewing the 1976 movie, SYBIL, and reflecting on the power of hypnotherapy and the implications of biological versus social influences on personality development. A true classic movie, SYBIL, hasn't been seen by many young students, I guess because it's not of their generation. One of my computer genius students is assisting in classroom set up to make the movie appear on two screens simultaneously. My evening psych class is HUGE--over 40 students. I have a smaller morning class of about 25 students.

I'll be blogging, of course.
