Yes, my friends, it's that time of year. Actually, it's at least a week into that time of the year--the time of year when you re-enter the classroom after approximately three months of not being in the classroom. Summer fades into not-summer, and not-summer takes the shape of classes where we all try to be intellectual (when us "we-people" are all knowing that our brain-organ-things have been kinda fuzzy for 3 months...but we trie an-ee-wae). And, in the collegiate text books (which cost an arm and a leg...and a couple of toes to boot--haha, no pun intended. Okay yes it was.), you of course find authors with names that remind you of anatomical terms--names like "Kolln," "Richter," "Bressler," and "Baugh" (pronounced [b-OW]). Why is it that people with anatomical names are always the intellectuals? It's like an unwritten rule: If one is wishing to be super smart, one's name must sound like a body part. (The rule even rhymes! It must be true.)
So, to all those who have left summer at the door of the classroom--welcome back. Don't let the body-names scare you. Intellectual people are people, too--they're just intellectual as well. And they have funny names.

Enjoy it all while you can! Soon you will graduate, get a "real" job, and realize that being able to just sit in a classroom and soak up knowledge is a beautiful but fleeting thing.
