Good morning blue, blue how do you do?

Ah, life at an underfunded institution. Imagine: your class's first meeting is in a room without windows. And the lights don't work! So your only source of light, besides what comes in from propping the door open, is the blue screen of the (malfunctioning) media system.

Not the most auspicious setting for starting a class, you might think! But the sheer absurdity of it gives me hope. If the lights are fixed by Thursday (or even if not: I'm bringing candles just in case!), it'll be fun to look back on as a class: We started in the wild blue yonder!
