How do you measure a week?

In paper, in problems,
In Mafia's played?
In lectures, in mocks,
In bags long delayed?

How to recap a week?
- One lost moose scare (eventually found under Steve's chair in a restaurant)
- Bubble tea and Japanese cheesecake were a hit in Toronto
- I won a game of Mafia (I make an excellent Village Idiot)
- Saw the gigantic Toronto duck
- Attended the extremely short City of Toronto fireworks for Canada Day
- A delayed flight, and quick meal in Houston
- A small plane to Oaxaca
- Countless games of chess
- Two mock olympiads
- lots of geometry and polynomials
- A big group trip to a clothing store, and a Walmart for necessities (what happens when you take 9 math nerds shopping for clothing?  Well, you end up with lots of things that don't fit...)

And my least favorite:
- 2 hours, 52 minutes on the phone, 14 facebook messages, 1 advertisement, 1 facebook post, and 1 twitter post to find our 9 missing bags from United.

So...in short, it's been eventful!  From here on out I am planning to post daily, and I'll go back and talk about some of the other events above as we go.

For now...a photo of the Duck, our hotel in Mexico, and an action shot of the students in their first lecture with James!
