Didn't Blair retire like, 1,000 years ago?
ReplyDeleteI don't know, maybe when I'm a prof. and sitting back teaching the same classes I've taught 8700 times having my TA doing all the grading while I watch projects through glassy eyes waiting for the end of the semester to go on vacations with my wife while my kids are grown...maybe I'll stick around for a while as well. You can't retire 5 minutes without the bishop sniffing around with that pesky mission business.
Wow, with Blair gone they'll be some young blood in the History department. Shaking things up. You know, I've never taken a class from the history department. Not one, and I'm proud of it.
