I don’t know how I am ever going to return to work next September. I absolutely love attending college classes. I love learning and I love being so inquisitive. I want to be a student in college for the rest of my life.
For those of you who attended college in the 70’s, remember the older students that were hanging around attending one class a semester? The ones who were close to 30 years old? They weren’t returning students, they were actually students who took a few credits each semester but their main objective was to smoke cigarettes, be cool in the student union and take forever to graduate. They were party boys who were never going to grow up (although we didn’t visualize them that way at the time).
I’ll never forget Bruce R. He was student government president so many times that we all thought the school would just eventually hire him and give him that position permanently. He was what we called the perpetual student. He was always in on club meetings and the President of the college invited him to luncheons. I guess the guy felt Bruce had the students ears on his side.
Anyway, my point is that, I want to be a perpetual student. Bruce sort of had the right idea but it was earlier on in life. I want to learn all there is to learn and continue to enjoy the interaction I’m having with the students. I’m enjoying the professors too. They’re young, bright and ballsy. Exactly the type of people I like to communicate with.
