Another Day of Meetings

Whereas last week was filled with lots of meetings with my department, today is an all-college meeting and department break-out times in the afternoon. We'll hear from the new dean this morning as well as a special speaker on some topic of interest. Fortunately, the afternoon session is typically less intense for our department than others because of last week's "retreat." I love seeing everyone back and ready for the school year to begin, but sitting through speakers seems agonizing, even when they are good speakers with useful information. On the plus side, I'm on my way to breakfast, and it's the best breakfast of the year!
