Back to school

I went campus calling today, visiting Adelphi University and talking to instructors across departments. Well, it was supposed to be across departments, but I just missed the professor in political science I’d hoped to meet with this afternoon — she warned me, she was in advising sessions all day — and couldn’t connect with the few others I thought might be willing to meet. So it was pretty much all psychology, plus the bookstore. I’m still hoping to get a few “meetings” done over the phone, with people who said they’d meet but couldn’t do so today.

I just can’t get those people to respond to my follow-up e-mails is all.

Meanwhile, I was unexpectedly given a new desk chair for my birthday yesterday — along with a number of other very generous gifts and well-wishes — and it’s amazing to discover this odd sensation at my desk which I think might just very well be comfort.
