And the first thing I'll miss on-campus are the on-campus solar eclipse festivities. From the inbox:
As you are making plans for eclipse viewing today, please remember the College of Arts & Sciences has a number of safe viewing opportunities, including live streaming of the eclipse. Festivities begin at 1pm on Sanford Mall, weather permitting. You can see the full list of events and activities at https://cas.appstate.edu/solar-eclipse-2017.
I plan on following the live stream while I wonder if there really be life after the great tribulation (Mark 13:24).
