...and it is driving me up the wall! In any language, we're already into the fourth week of the academic year here at Beloit. It seems hard to believe, but today marks the end of the first quarter of the Fall Semester.
Although, at a second glance, things around here do seem to be in full swing:
- After a bit of time away, I'm once again working regular hours here in Admissions.
- Every other day it seems I am writing a "big" paper or studying for some exams that will make or break my GPA.
- Cross Country is whipping into gear-- come to think of it, morning practices have had me up at 6AM for weeks!
- And if that's not enough, today there was enough dirt on my dorm room carpet to inspire a schlep across Porter 3rd to put the communal vaccuum to task. If that's not a sure sign I'm living the Beloit Life, I don't know what is. It's funny, but I realized today that aside from my running shoes and my flip-flops, I'm entering autumn unshod. I have tracked a remarkable amount of dirt up to the third floor for someone who doesn't own shoes. Puzzling.
So, maybe we are a month deep out here after all. And while it has taken the better part of September to get my summer brain back into "school" mode, I think I'm there.
