I grimaced when I realized one of them was actually a sheet that didn’t look very clean.

The fraternities and sororities had painted signs and hung them on trees to welcome someone. Hordes of giggling freshmen were pushing their way to the front and one of them elbowed me, making me drop the notebook I was carrying. It was like the entire student body had gathered in the middle of the school for a pep rally. That’s when I ran into all of the people. The server for our building was down and I needed to do some research. I snagged a sandwich and ate it on my way to the library. By the time lunch rolled around I had been more than ready for a break. My entire day was turning into a bad country song. Only half of the students in my first class showed up, and then I couldn’t find the tests I had spent the entire weekend grading. My truck had coughed and sputtered all the way to school. To say my day was not going well, would be like saying the French Revolution had been a bit troublesome for Marie Antoinette.
