Ups and downs of social media

At the beginning of the semester, when I was giving my phone number and UCU email address to my students, one of them asked if they could friend me on Facebook.  I said that if they could find me, they could.

A couple weeks later, one found me, and just a few weeks ago, yet another found me.  Imagine my surprise when I saw this photo in his feed, with the caption "ma lecturer."

I had no idea he had taken the picture.  This must have been about mid-way through the semester, as we moved out of this room because when it is packed to the gills with 42 students, it's absolutely roasting in the afternoon.  I don't normally wear my collar to class, but I think that morning I had led the staff devotion, and never went home to change.
