The Rest of the Route to Class

Weeks ago I promised I would show you the rest of the trek to class but I have been a little busy reading a few thousand pages of journal articles and books by Harvard professors for Harvard classes and published by Harvard University Press -- an arrangement that I happen to like.

Enough whining. This is the street that is the hub for the Graduate School of Education. It is called, with good reason, Appian Way. Across the street is the Common where George Washington organized the troops during the Revolutionary War. There is a famous tree there -- I am sure you see it.




This is Longfellow Hall where I take Statistics. The main lecture hall is huge, old, but very beautiful. There are 200 students in that class. The professor used to be a first grade teacher and has a baseball cap for every statistics symbol.




This is Gutman Library, one of over 80 libraries on campus. The staff here is phenomenal from the cute young man who checks our ID's each time we enter the building (and doesn't laugh at the pictures) to the reference librarians who know everything about everything (almost as much as Andy) and who are extremely patient with those of us who don't!

The red brick building below is Larson Hall where all of the rest of my classses meet.
My Sunday night study group. Lori, Sarah and Sawyer.


Guess who knows more than I do?



People who are coming to talk to me in October:

Al Gore is coming to celebrate Harvard's initiative to erase our carbon footprint by the year 2010.

And Margaret Spellings, Secretary of Education is coming this week.
