First Day of Classes

Today was the first day of classes. I only have one class on Monday, and it's Accounting 101. The class is being taught by a lecturer, not a professor, which in my experience means it will either be a really good or really bad class. Some lecturers seem to be people who couldn't get jobs as professors, and really have no business teaching (Izad from EECS 281 comes to mind). Other lecturers are people who have been in industry for most of their careers and teach because they enjoy it. The lecturer for accounting appears to fall into the later category. He's spent 20+ years in industry, and seems to be an effective communicator. On a cool note, he's extended an invitation for everyone in the class to have lunch with him (on his dime) in groups of 2-3 at That Place on Belleflower. I don't know many profs who would be willing to spend their own money to socialize with students.

Tomorrow I've got three classes, starting at 10am. I better go to bed...
