No Time for Joking Around - Get to Class



Not sure who it is, but it’s one of you – I think, is having fun with me. When you visit my office you will see the window static lights running across the trim of the giant window. These window statics are in two parts … the colorful oval shape for the light bulb a black square for the part that is screwed in. Recently, someone has been relocating the black parts just off to the left of the light bulbs. First it was just one light then recently it was two lights. Are you having fun with my OCD? For the record - I’m not above super-gluing them in place!

On to other stuff.  
Let’s get pumped for a great spring semester. Say it with me …
I am going to have great semester.
I will do my best.
I will go to all my classes.
I will ask for help.
