FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL
First day of school turned out to be an eight-hour orientation, including library orientations, getting an ID card, and taking half-hour versions of the two classes I’ll be taking the semester. Now all of those nightmares I have about going to class and not having my homework done can actually be true; I now have reading assignments and term papers and group projects to get through.
But while I was more than a little overwhelmed by it all, I was also energized. As I looked around the room at the other 25-30 part-timers, I wondered who’d become trusted confidantes, who’d be running for office, who I could help or be helped by down the road. Fels students get stuff done, here in Philly and around the country. And now I’m one of them.
