It was uncomfortably cold in the office today, so it’s just as well that I spent most of the day off-site, wandering the halls of Hunter College with my boss, talking to professors (and a helpful employee at the bookstore) about the books they’re using in class, trends they’re seeing among students, etc. This sort of fact-finding mission, developmental research, is actually quite common among the group. We’re meeting next week in Connecticut with an author I’m working with, and then I’ll be responsible for going out on my own several times a semester.
I’m actually kind of looking forward to pretty normal day at the office tomorrow, though. Actually, right now, I’m just kind of looking forward to going to sleep.
Did it make you feel nostalgic for college days? I find that I sometimes yearn for it when I walk through the halls at work and see all of the students. It’s part yearning to be a full-time student. And part yearning to be younger.
Maybe a little bit. It can be weird looking at textbooks from the other side.
