Fall Semester Begins Tomorrow

The 3 weeks between summer and fall semesters flew by. I tried to catch up on some cleaning, get Eric packed and moved back to SIU, get some shopping done, and do the everyday tasks as well. Last week I worked diligently to get my syllabi done and things posted to the online sites.

My schedule this fall is different from what I have had in recent semesters. I have no morning classes, and I have classes after 2 p.m. It should be interesting to see the types of students who take 3 p.m. and 3:30 classes as opposed to 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. classes. I am looking forward to having mornings to get to the Y and get some housework and schoolwork done. But I will have to plan dinners well because on Mondays I will be getting done with class at 5:50 p.m. (probably be a crock pot or leftovers night). Tues. & Thurs. I get done at 4:45 p.m. and Wed. I have only an evening class at 7 p.m. Fridays are no classes (yea!).

I feel almost ready. There is a little excitement in the air. Just like when I was a kid--the first day of school had an almost magical feeling. A new outfit to wear, new school supplies and sometimes a new lunch box. Anything is possible the first day of school.
