Wow, amazing lecture.

FYI: This is the second time in one week that I’ve gotten the message to cherish those you care about because one day they will not be there. The first time happened Wednesday morning. At the end of my Classical Civilization section, I learned that one of the students in the class had died last Friday. (Sections are small. Maybe 20 students in that class? Lectures are larger, and I have one of those for this class as well.) I don’t know how he died. However, e graduated from a high school close to my university. I didn’t know him personally (apparently, he only made it to the first three section meetings), but the message still hit home.
