I like starting new semesters. Only, every time, I want to scare off a few students on the first day. Turns out, I'm not so scary. So, what to do when you have a grip of students you want to sign in? Even if it means having 27 rather than the usual 23? Do you turn them away? NO! You request a larger room so you can sign them in without getting in trouble with the fire chief.
The Fire Chief. The bane of any person who does anything in a building, whether moving furniture around or packing undergrads into a basement closet like tiny fish packed in oil. So, we'll see. I think they're a good bunch this semester. Nothing like good conversation about dope poetry while scoring work and wrapping up a couple of manuscripts.
A couple of them.
That's the plan.
