Classes start bright and early tomorrow morning.

I've got about 35 students for the next two days, then a completely different group of about 90 students.

At least my school changed the facemask policy, so masks are required. Vaccination registration is required, and those who do not demonstrate they have been vaccinated will be required to undergo regular testing.

I'm happy to be back in person - but it is a bit nervewrackinggiven where we are with COVID.
