Preliminaries
-------------

### Admin

* Happy Birthday anonymous student!
   * Thank you for sharing the food stuffs that are not nearly as good
     as those your family would make.
* I have not yet figured out what's going on with turtles.
* Good luck to our improvisational students as the travel off to an
  another "three vowels plus a potentially vowel-like letter" state.
* We have lots of introductory stuff to do.  I'll still try to keep it 
  brief.
* Some of you have been asking about CSC 161 and CSC 207.  We are committed
  to ensuring that every prospective major can take CSC 161 and CSC 207 in
  the semester in which they want to take those courses.  We will do our best 
  to ensure that every student who wants to take CSC 161 and CSC 207 can
  do so at some point.
* Exam stuff
    * I encourage you to try a variant of "You must try, and then you must
      ask" <https://blogs.akamai.com/2013/10/you-must-try-and-then-you-must-ask.html>.  (Ten minutes of the try section suffices.)
    * Yes, I'll deal with the "I have no idea how to ask a questin, but I
      need help" questions.  However, you do need to send me code and notes.
    * The prologue will not be available until tonight.
