Avenue C & Eagle Drive

Finals ended Friday. The students living in their dorms had to have their asses out by 5 that day. The mass exodus of people out of Denton is complete, and only the off-campus students and normal Dentonites remain. Work will be nicer, with ample parking and few deadlines for departments to freak out about.

UNT got another new president today, and his first order of business was commencement. I can only imagine what his first words were:

“Good afternoon! Welcome to…to…um…GRADUATION! Here at…oh…um…YOUR SPLENDID UNIVERSITY! I will now turn the podium over to uh…ummm…this nice gentleman to give the commencement address.”

He then moves around the stage awkwardly looking for his chair.

I can’t think of a more terrifying thing to do on your first day at work. Speaking to and dealing with people you have worked with for probably no more than two hours. But he seems like a nice guy, so I think he’ll do well in the one year he is slated to serve while we look for a long-term replacement.

Over the summer, I hope to finally get a podcast going with my friends. All we lack are more microphones and some content. I also would like to try writing a little more, since it is something I’d like to end up doing. Oh yeah, and relaxing, too. I’ve really needed more of that.
