Welcome Back

Well today marked the first day back in the groove of the fall semester. It almost feels like fall except for the fact that the temperature cannot make it under 100 degrees. Fortunately for me, I am from Mississippi where it is actually hotter!!! I do enjoy walking to class only to wring out my shirt after I get there.

For those of you not familiar with MTSU, we have somewhat of a parking problem. This is one of the reason why I truly detest the first day of school...every single person feels the need to go to class on the first day. I know by the end of the week a quarter of these people will have withdrawn and I won't have to shuffle past them to get the good parking spots, so I won't have to walk as far to class, so I won't be as drenched in sweat, so I won't become irritable, so I can enjoy myself and my studies. Whew. Can you feel the tension?

Speaking of tension. OK so it took me quite a while to find a parking spot today--the first day back no less--which made me somewhat late for my 8:00 class this morning. As I open the door to walk in my teacher--who I have never laid eyes on before--starts chewing me out as an example for the whole class. Wow!! That really made my day. Why would you decide to start off someone’s semester off by lambasting them in front of a large group of people? I am usually not self-conscious but it was not the way I would have liked to start off my fall. What if I had been a transfer student that was experiencing his first class at MTSU, would that be the way to great them? I know, I am whining, and on that note I am done.

Next time I won't be bitching..until then...
