First Impressions
Tuesday, September 1, 2009
I had one class today... and I'm exhausted.
I also helped a don put up the 12 zodiac signs on her floor ceiling using paper stars and tape. This may have contributed to said exhaustion.
I also recognize, though, that a lot of the exhaustion just comes from the fact that today was the first day and that we were all taking in a lot of new information. Nothing was really all that unexpected except for the registration process (where I was told I needed a new student card and then informed that I didn't). I've been racking my brains, trying to think of something else to say that would be interesting but I'm drawing a blank. But I also thought I should at least drop a line to say that the first day went as expected. I did not react in any sort of extreme fashion, which I suppose was good. No arms were waved.Labels: about us, Queen's
