Welcome Week

Well, here we are at the start of a new semester. I made up a survey to hand out during welcome week to help us plan activities that our students would like. So, we handed out the surveys each night as we welcomed students, directed them to their classes and gave away candy bars. We did get alot of the surveys back and I will be looking at the results this week.
My schedule has changed twice since I originally registered, and I hope it is done changing now because I really like all of my classes. I'm not quite so enthusiastic about the way my classes fit into my week. I am away from home 3 nights a week, Monday Wednesday, and Friday which is hard on my family, but it was the only way I could get all of the classes I needed. So, here is what I'm taking:
Psychometrics
Personality theory
Business ethics
Cognitive psychology
and Adolescent psychology

So, here is something funny that happened to me this week.
Wednesday was my birthday (# 41 if you're wondering) and I spent the whole evening at school. I had two classes, plus I was welcoming students between my classes. I didn't mind, we just celebrated my birthday on Tuesday night instead. My parents came over to my house and brought dinner and gifts, and my hubby even brought me roses. But, back to my story, in between my classes I was talking to another student who said she didn't want to be in class that night and wondered if the instructor would take up the entire class time or would finish early because it was her birthday.I laughed and said "me too!" I think she almost didn't believe me at first. I thought that was a pretty weird coincidence. I mean what are the chances that I meet someone who has the same birthday as I do , and on my birthday too?
