Blog Schedule

Hi, everyone!

So, Al has decided to drop the class (which leaves David all alone in a sea of women, hehe). That means that we have one week without anyone posting, so please, please notice that I have moved Lexi to take Al's spot on October 21. If this totally doesn't work for you for whatever reason, Lexi, please email me and let me know.

Otherwise, the schedule is below:

September 2: Lauren and Seemay
September 9: Leah and Ale
September 16: Carolyn and Taylor
September 23: Meagan A.
September 30: Tara
October 7: Amy
October 14: Fall Break; No Blog
October 21: Lexi
October 28: David
November 4: Meghan M. and Sybelle
November 11: Frances
November 18: Genesis
November 24: Thanksgiving; No Blog
December 2: Kathryn

Welcome!

Welcome, class, to the Legacy of the Family Story Blog!

I hope that you all were able to set up your accounts without much problem. The topic for this week to get us started will be created by me. Since it's the first week of class, I just want us all to get to know one another a little better. So, why did you sign up for this class? What do you hope to get out of the class? After our first class and reading the syllabus and getting an idea what's in store for you, what are some things you're excited about? What are some things you want to learn more about? What are you dreading? :)

Finally, what are you hoping to get out the honors program in general? Why are you taking honors? What does honors mean to you?

Okay, let the games begin...
