Toot

The first day of class was largely a success. Everyone showed up, even in a super-hard-to-find classroom. People could hear me through my mask and over the roaring heater. All went well, until the yellow jacket invasion in the last five minutes. So kind of student-panicked shoe-slapping finale. #teaching

@LingLass What is the first day of classes without a yellow jacket invasion?

@rbmath Right? It wouldn't be a real start without some kind of memorable disaster.

@YLee Looks like they might actually have been wasps. 😳

@LingLass

Ah, got it. Construction workers have to wear hi-vis jackets, which are also yellow. I thought it may have been a euphemism for being interrupted by construction or something like that.

@YLee Second day of class: The maintenance crew cleared out all the wasps, dead and alive. Students were relieved. And spent the rest of the class in a heated debate about meaning. I love this class.
