Working at a school, I have to admit that I love the students. Generally they’re upbeat, bubbly and carefree. They’re quite amusing to observe sometimes, talking on their cellphones in the hallways complaining that their boyfriend didn’t call them back last night or so and so’s girlfriend has been seen a little too often with the new guy! Ahh, to be young again and barely have a more serious care in the world than dating (at least that seems to be the main topic of the conversations I overheard)!

There is one downside to the academic year kicking into full gear, however, and that’s the overflowing Metro, sidewalks, hallways and shopping mall (Plaza Alexis Nihon). They’re so carefree about their surroundings that they pay little to no attention to the folks around them. Stopping in the middle of a narrow passageway through crowded hallways in order to speak to a friend. Standing in front of exit doors or actually in the doorway. Not taking their backpacks off in the Metro… the list can go on and on, so I’ll quit while I’m ahead!

It was nice over the summer months with a reduced number of students attending summer classes, but for some inexplicable reason, I missed them.

Welcome back!
