Classes kicked off Monday at UCF, and to celebrate the occasion a major campus traffic artery was roadblocked so that it could be re-routed sometime this decade. Apparently someone decided a week or two ago that this (and not May, June, or July) would be a good time to start a large and disruptive campus road project. The resulting chaos is pretty predictable.

As I see and meet freshmen this time of year, I always think back to my first few days at UGA. I remember standing on the bridge looking into the football stadium and thinking of all the games I had seen there as a kid, and what a big deal it had always been to make the trip to Athens on Friday or Saturday for a Bulldog game. And now I was a student there…finally!

What were you thinking the first week of class as a college student?
