Today I finished the syllabi for both of my classes. They're ready to copy and put online. Now, I just have to prepare material for the first week, but I've still got time for that. I'm looking forward to rereading Varieties of Religious Experience by William James. I last read it for a paper two years ago, so some of the high points have faded. I'm also still getting used to the idea of teaching philosophy of religion at a nominally faith-based university. The class is usually taught by the Chaplin. My Buddhism class also looks pretty good. I've got a better idea of how much I can cover, so I found it easy to make out a schedule. Having all of these lectures recorded will be cool as well.
The other day, we went to Lakeside Mall to buy a new calendar. Now, it's been a while since I've been to the mall, so this is the first time I had to deal with the new parking garage. Does anyone find that thing poorly laid out? It seemed harder, not easier, to find a space, and it was just difficult to get around. The whole thing just seemed designed by less intelligent monkeys than the ones who usually design such things.
