I like the idea of the conference call before class to meet t he others in 
the class, learn your room numbers and instructor, and a few extras. TSE 
used to send out a recording or other material, but we didn't know the 
instructor until we reached school. I don't actually mind this so much, but 
that does seem like a nice touch.

I sure wouldn't buy toys. I have found it increasingly unlikely that I s 
hould buy any until I've been home for a while. Many are expensive, and 
often my dogs don't want the ones I chose. I don't know why.
