first day

Bloody blisters from new (red) shoes, coffee spilled on the white button-down en route to campus, syllabi miscounted, may have played "Fangs or a Tail?" and may have suggested that tails come in handy because you can shoplift with them, forgot to eat lunch, forgot to give introductory "this is my background" chat to second class, sweated in late afternoon in otherwise gorgeous brand-new computer lab, lost a hastily applied Band-Aid from the ankle somewhere between first class and second class.

Still, it's nice to be back.
