You'd think school had started or something - but no!
We're getting there. There was a new faculty orientation event this afternoon - and I offered a little walking tour of South Main Street to provide a little transition from some useful panel discussion to happy hour at the Red Dove. Looks like a nice crew - certainly all the folks I got the opportunity to talk to are very pleasant. And to make it feel just like September, the evening ended with a 2.5 hour Human Rights Commission committee meeting.
As I headed home I noticed - and politely averted my eyes from - a number of porch parties on Pulteney Street, epicenter of off-campus student dwellings. The school year is gearing up.
It's going to be very strange to NOT be teaching - the 2nd autumn that's happened since my 3rd year of graduate school?
