Are we on Chapter 5 on Graveyard Book? I'm still in chapter 4, but I guess you read a bit over the weekend? I'll try to catch up! And I hope the first day of school goes well :)

The first day of classes went okay--the classes were fine! However, we had a student freak out in the hallway, screaming at the top of his lungs for about an hour and pounding on the wall hard enough to rattle the magnets off Dan's door. It was really frightening! My nerves were totally shot...it was kind of a relief to finally get to classes... @_@

I'm sorry you had such a stressful situation to deal with! meeep! poor student, what happened to him? Too much anxiety? I'm gonna guess that kind of breakdown is not.. something common, is it? Poor guy :( Hope he's doing better...

From what Dan could make out, the student was thrown out of the class for cheating, but his argument was that the professor was nicer to the female students than him. He was pretty vehement! I could understand him saying the professor wasn't even human and should die...that wasn't a good thing to hear...
Dan had a student throw a fire extinguisher through a window (in a different class) once! Besides that it's usually pretty sedate. The male students are under a LOT of stress, especially as graduation approaches...
