Long weekends are much better in theory than in practice. This hasn’t been a day off so much as it’s just been an extra Sunday; nothing gets done, and it will be all the more difficult to drag myself to work tomorrow.

I really should pay closer attention to things. Apparently there’s a home football game this weekend. No longer working in the center of campus, and no longer reliant on the bus to get around, I’m out of step with what’s happening in town. If my boss wasn’t teaching this semester, I might not even have known classes had started. Until about two days ago, I’d forgotten that Monday was Labor Day. Color me oblivious.
