We were back in the saddle today. Yikes. I think "The Comedy of Errors" was inspired by life in college.
My first great mishap was parking. There was none. In the past, I have done generated some, um, creative parking solutions, but, I was actually able to get a spot.
The second challenge was figuring out my phone. Rumor has it that all of our phones were down today, and so I missed at least 43 important calls (one from my really good friend - please call back).
The third challenge was finding phantom students, a lost professor, and entertaining stoney eyed creatures with a rousing rendition of "In a Big Country" by Big Country.
Then I met with students who aren't mine, but think they are mine because my name appears in the WebCT course. Hmmm. I don't even understand how that happens.
Anyway, some perks.
Four former students were waiting at my office door to see me - just to say hi. They make all the struggles worthwhile.
