8/18: even time for a syllabus

It was a day of nearly back-to-back meetings from 8:15 until 4:30. The meetings went very smoothly, and a couple of them didn't run as long as I thought they would, so I had an unexpected bit of extra time. I used it to work on writing one of my syllabuses for the semester, and now that's one less thing left to do before the start of classes.
