First week of school

Classes started Wednesday. I'm taking the following:

PSC 565 - Survey of Public Administration
PSC 562 - Public Personnel Administration
PSC 667 - Public Budgeting

All three seem like they're going to be interesting enough. I have a ton of reading to do already, and I haven't done any of it--I slept from 6 p.m. until around 7 a.m. on Wednesday evening (I was feeling sick; apparently I have some sort of virus that's making my throat sore, but at least it's not strep--at least not according to the Death Center).

I've also started work in the athletic department. I met one of the women's basketball coaches yesterday (the one who'll be our primary contact for video). She seems reasonable enough; hopefully we'll keep getting good news.

Right now our offices are in some temporary trailers beside the Coliseum, which is being renovated. We're scheduled to move in at the beginning of November, but I've heard they're behind (and I'm not surprised).

It is good to be working with Patrick. I know him from my earlier stint in intercollegiate video, and he's a nice guy. Pretty easygoing and good to get along with, and he does good work. It's going to be a good year.
