You've Got Mail

My HKIS e-mail account was established today. How exciting!

I was pleased to discover that HKIS is a Google Education school, meaning most information communication logistics are powered by Google. I've had plenty of experience with Gmail and Google Docs in the past, and I love the robust framework that Google provides.

When I first logged into my account, I read through the 35+ emails vying for my attention. Nothing important, but plenty of interesting topics. Apparently, the school nurse sends out warning when the API (???) is high. It must have something to do with air pollution or allergies, for when it's high students and faculty are advised to remain indoors. I don't think I have any respiratory problems; how bad could it be?

Beyond the e-mails from the nurse, it was nice to start learning names of colleagues and reading the newsletters from the school administration.

At this point, my new e-mail address is still a fun toy. I wonder how long it will take for it to become burdensome.
