Some Thoughts on the First Day of Classes at NJIT

This is the beginning of the Fall semester at NJIT, but it is only August 30. The temperature is expected to hit 90 degrees every day this week and Labor Day is next Monday, When I was a college student classes didn't begin until the second week in September. For many years now colleges begin earlier so the semester and final exams are over before the Christmas break.

For 3 1/2 months the campus was almost empty, but today it was bustling. There was a pancake breakfast outside this morning to start this academic year. Time moves forward.
