Fall semester started at BSC today. I was physically prepared for class, with a new skirt, copies of my syllabi in hand and my first-day speech brushed up, but it was mentally hard to get back in the groove. It's been a really good summer, relaxed and fun. I'm not ready for that to end. It was even harder for Connor, who has gotten used to me being around every day and wouldn't let go of me when I hugged him goodbye. He even ran down the sidewalk waving/crying as I drove away. HEARTBREAKING.
At least my classes went well. The 12:00 class even got my sense of humor, except for that one gal with the thick, black liquid eyeliner that made her eyes into slits. She was barely tolerating me, even rolled her eyes a couple of times. I almost laughed out loud. You won't intimidate me, you catty, slitty-eyed little waif!!
Ah well. Another semester of exposing a few young minds to the joys of grammar, punctuation, and a well-turned phrase.
