I&#039m sitting at my own desk at my own computer which I finally got to at least allow me to the internet as of this afternoon. Hooray for me! I still haven&#039t gotten most of my issues with the campus straightened out (such as my username and password for GroupWise), but at least they&#039ve given me my waiver for last semester&#039s fees. Now if only SMWC could pay me by Monday! <Sigh> Oh well, guess it&#039s going to be a while longer before things smooth out. I advised my first student by myself today. That was fun. I helped out with the other students this morning, but this one was all mine. 🙂 Woot! And I think I&#039ve just about got her talked into taking the Honors Program &#039cause she loves Greek and Latin mythology and literature. She&#039s hoping to take a Latin course soon. She&#039s happy to be back in school because I guess she was in the military for a while before. So yay for me and her! Woot!

I got other work done today such as getting about half my guest speakers lined up for this semester. I need to type up half of my syllabus this weekend because I start teaching Monday at 9 in the morning all the way across campus. I won&#039t have all of the class schedules ready by then, but I&#039ll be able to give them their assignments for January. My guest speakers are going to include the following topics: study abroad, health & fitness, college life & the real world after, registering & general education, the library&#039s resources, the Career center&#039s resources, safety & the law on campus, and student loans & credit cards. Lots of fun! I figure that I won&#039t have as much information as these people, and the class will get bored listening to me anyway. Yay! Now if only I could register for my own classes. Oh well. Time to sort out the pile of papers on my desk so I can get ready to go home soon. Next week begins the insanity. Woo!
