First day of school
It went…about as well I imagined it would, which is to say, fair to middlin’. I was reasonably well-prepared, but several quirks* of going to a large public school took me completely by surprise. Some of these surprises were ridiculous, others merely interesting.
I have most of the post that tells you about all those things written in my head (because I did a LOT of walking and driving today and had time to ‘write’ about things as I was experiencing them), but that will have to wait until later. I didn’t get home from teaching my LSAT class until 9:30, after which I had to walk the dog, make dinner, eat dinner, and get caught up on the email I missed today and the work email I didn’t check over the holiday weekend. Now it’s one minute to midnight, I have class at 10:00 tomorrow morning, and I haven’t picked out my clothes or packed my lunch yet. Blargh. I hope this doesn’t become my life from now on—I haven’t even thrown homework into the mix yet.

* Can I really call them ‘quirks’ if big public schools are the norm? It’s quirky to me.
