  1. You forgot “Holy Crap, where am I going to park?” Classes started here (UofAL) last Thursday and suddenly my wonderful parking situation turned to crap, so did traffic. Campus is a great place to work when the student’s are gone.

  3. How about ‘Yippee! I can’t wait to get back to school so I don’t have to finish all those home improvement projects my wife planned for my vacation.’

  4. Except that it’s not ‘a week from’ Monday.

    And I’m in the wrong country currently, with no syllabus as yet..

    Sounds like you work on a campus where the parking poo-bahs issue hunting licenses. I, too, work on such a campus, but as I am fortunate enough to live within walking distance I have the luxury of ignoring this detail. But it does mean I will have to start dealing with jerkwad students from suburbia who may be unfamiliar with the concept of pedestrians, not to mention party animals who jettison beer cans on my lawn.

    Other than that, I’m in the “Some of us work year-round” camp.

  7. Just found out that my admission has been fscked up – I’m only taking some remedial classes to qualify as a teacher, but I used to do research, so the system has made a dog’s dinner of my data.

    I can only hope to have computer access and know what books I need come Monday.

    (And being an idiot I managed to agree to sub in someone else’s class at the same time I’m supposed to be in my own. Bugger.)

  8. You forgot, “(x) Wow the scenery really improves here when school starts back up.” the common sentiment of both sexes in the chem dept when I was in grad school.
