  • Put your hands in the air, hands in the air!
    Packages are coming in; it's like I ordered stuff a week ago or something. Hmph. Interesting.

    It's almost always thrilling to come back on campus for Opening Week. At times, I'm like, "Yay, I'm happily busy with cool projects; I love my job," and at other times, the less frequent ones, I think, "Crap. There goes my lazy-ass summer; did I use it wisely?" I usually feel the latter when I obviously need a nap or didn't zonk out like I wanted to the night before; in the summer, I don't have to worry about sleepless nights, so I rarely have them... during the school year, they can be a detriment to my attitude big time. Ick.

    Yeah. Practically every thought this week, however, has been on the UP side. I get weirdly optimistic about the starts of new semesters. Especially fall ones. And I'm teaching my FYE in Horton - the newly redone Horton with new everything, even that new building smell.

    FJ: (b) canadian bacon + eggs + cheddar + hashbrowns + water. (l) ckn wrap + chili + water + pop + special K bar and some of C's cookie. (d) w/sisters and parental unit somewhere.
