Doctor Grandma

I forgot how much fun is the beginning of a semester.

No one has yet failed. Anything. Assignment, test or class. No one is yet tired of the class, either student or professor. All is an atmosphere of newness, expectation, excitement, hopefulness. Students hope their class will be interesting, perhaps challenging or maybe even “easy”. They hope to see people they know or like, or people who they might find a relationship with. Professors hope their students will be interested, engaged, contributing. Everyone hopes to be liked. Everyone hopes all the energy & effort they put into this project will somehow be worth it. And we don’t yet know.

It is all drop & add, drop & add for the next week. Then people finally settle into their classes & we get rolling.
