Contact!

2 September 2022: Most of the time, you reach out to a student who has ghosted your class or never showed up and you don't hear anything. Late this afternoon, I reached out, figuring that's what would happen. Imagine my surprise and happiness to actually hear back quickly. Won't say too much because the details are private and don't matter, but we have made contact and there's hope. Not a bad end to the week.
