in bed slightly earlier, because I have to get up earlier in order to correct stupid mistakes made by the damn bookstore at Temple.

A post-it note just hanging in my office at Temple (presumably left for the previous tenant of my office):
"Dear Profeser Zerox,
I’m sorry I mist class, but my bus kilt a street person.
- Phil"
I love college.

trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with the book order for my fiction class.

good to be back at lasalle, even if parking sucks.
odd note of the day: one of my students is friends with Big Kev’s sister.

When asking my students to introduce themselves and tell me why they’re in my class, I stress that they don’t have to lie and pretend that they’re there because they’re fascinated by my course. So, one student told me she’s there because she needs a 4th class to stay on her parents’ health insurance, while another said "I have no idea why I’m here– this class scares the hell out of me."

asleep before my first day at lasalle.
Hopefully it’s not as frustrating as my first at temple.

god damnit, my books still aren’t in the school book store, which means my first 3 weeks of planning are basically ruined. Awesome.
