Back to school
School starts for me tomorrow--or more accurately, what starts is my school duties. I'm on the college's academic standards committee this year, which means tomorrow I participate in deciding who does and does not flunk out. I did this duty years ago at Colgate, and my number came around again, so I'm doing my duty. But it is duty alone; it sure isn't how I'd ever choose to spend my time.

Becky, you must admit the brownies were good, and you must admit that having a colleague nudging you throughout the proceeding kept you awake!

It wasn't so bad, thanks to the brownies & colleague. Plus it was nice that I wasn't consistently in the minority on our votes. I hate it when I'm participating in such important decisions and don't approve of the group's decision-making process. But this was pretty good; much better, in fact, than the decision-making process at a Previous School That Shall Remain Nameless.
