Classes start back tomorrow morning. All my upperclassman friends from last year showed up this weekend, and I've been helping them move in while we get caught up. It's really good to have them back -- the campus just feels empty and hollow during the summer.

I taught the freshman orientation course this past week. I love freshmen -- they're so happy and excited and full of energy. It's infectious.

It's about nine pm. A few minutes ago, four girls came up to my office window and serenaded me with "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," then ran away giggling.

Kids!
