Stash Dash 2014 update

Shipwreck is finished! I need to take a weekend to block it and get good pictures.
Lightning on Quaker Ridge is now 2/3 done.
I am working on the last square of my Mock Cornerstone blanket (Rothko blanket? that's what I think of it as...), but I will have to attach them all and then pick up to do the border.

Those are probably the only major things I'll finish for StashDash14. My class starts tomorrow and I've got a lot of work left to do. freaking out a bit. ngh. let me make a list.

1) draft the first lecture or two/edit H's lectures into mine (1st one: modern, modern way of thinking, scientific method, testability, etc; 2nd one: chinese, greek, roman, medieval way of thinking, understanding the universe)
2) come up with actual in class assignments for students to do for 1 hour out of the 2 hours.
3) figure out point distribution and intended assignments throughout class
4) finish polishing syllabus: set office hours and online-help hours, lay out the intended class work for each day/week, lay out the intended assignments and duedates
5) figure out what final project will really be??? or at least write it up so it sounds reasonable.
6) figure out first week of readings: from book, from articles, from other sources. make copies
7) panic

must absolutely do 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 today. great.
