School Daze

School started up again today. I was pretty sulky about it, esp since my 8am last year was only slightly more lively than death warmed over. Some days. Other days it was just plain death. These kids don't choose their own schedules, and NONE of them were happy to be up at 8am. This year, I'm happy to report, the 8ams seem alive! So I'm feeling very optomistic that the semester will be a happy one. I even heard one student saying to another as they left class, "I like this class!" At 8am! For a required for all students course!
