And this place has been a madhouse since a week ago Monday.
Long lines, impatient people, hot, sweaty ... you name it, it has been going on. I've been serving at a "welcome table" -- also known as the answer desk. I've been at the table for anywhere between 2 hours and 7 hours each day of the last week. Last Friday was the first day I'd gone home before 6 all week. It was delightful.
Being at a college in the first few weeks of a semester is almost intoxicating. The excitement is contagious ... with students, staff and faculty alike all focused on the start of school and the "newness" of the semester at hand, where that ever-elusive "A" is still within reach.
I've been sleeping hard every night. I come home from work, eat dinner and collapse.
I did find out that I'm eligible for free tuition next semester -- so I'll be taking Spanish. I really need it here, so much more so than in Indiana. It would have been especially helpful these past few weeks.
