If you weren't already jealous enough of my new Nannerpuss shirt, I thought I'd twist the knife by showing you this panoramic photo I took of the campus where I teach. To see a larger version of the photo, just click on it. College of the Redwoods has to be one of the most beautiful campuses in the country. What it lacks for in ivy-covered brick buildings, it makes up for in natural beauty. It's right on the Humboldt Bay, and is nestled into some amazing redwood-covered hills. There have been TWO bear sightings on campus since I moved to Eureka in August, which definitely wasn't the case at my last school in Huntington Beach.
Here's a typical sign from one of the kiosks at school, though:
When I first moved to Eureka, I asked my wife why I felt so happy each time I stepped on to campus. She hit the nail right on the head when she told me it was because being on campus felt like summer camp. Now, my favorite class project is taking my class into the bathroom to play "Bloody Mary". We follow that by short-sheeting the associate faculty's beds.
