Anti-Climacus

YOU KNOW SUMMER'S OVER WHEN:

1. Andrew Sullivan returns from his annual blog hiatus.
2. I return from mine.
3. Barry Bonds works a little late-inning magic (oh, wait, he does that all the time).
4. One of your profs decides he doesn't need to show up for the first day of class, and offers the lamest excuse ever:

"I apologize for missing class today. The class was originally on Mon-Wed, but was then moved to Tues-Thurs by the Registrar's office. I was not informed of the change."

Not that I didn't enjoy sitting in the MLB for 45 minutes for no good reason.

5. Betsy says, "normally I say you have to have at least a B.A. before you can call me by my first name, but we'll have to adjust."
6. My practice GRE math sections go horribly, and I cheer myself up by doing a verbal section.
