It’s most definately that time of the year again. That time when old friends begin returning and freshman arrive. Today (actually in about 30 minutes) I have to go play tech support for the registration line over in Longview Hall. This makes the 5th or 6th time that I’ve done this (IT provides this for each registration period) so I have a reasonable idea of what’s expected of me during that time. Usually it requires me to stay awake. I like to take one of the afternoon time slots so that all the bugs in the system are worked out before I show up.
I haven’t met many of the new freshmen yet. I hung around until about 9 last night, but they were all off doing their orientation thing until well after I left. Hopefully I can meet them tonight. We are holding our floor meeting (for returning students) tonight so that we can talk about our near-term plans for the freshmen before we have our mandatory floor meeting with everyone. We have to have some idea of what we plan to do before we get moving too quickly.
Well, I have a few things to do before I head over to LH, so I’m out of here for now …
