Surprise visit

A former student just stopped by to tell me next year he'll be the editor of the school paper. Since he wants a journalism career, this is first rate experience and preparation. Even better, he actually could graduate this year but is staying an extra year for the job, which means he can devote a lot of time to it, just taking a class for fun and to keep his student status. Good for him! We chatted about how much fun it would be to be a sports writer. I did none of that but being a sports fan, I can see how it wouldn't seem like "work" at all.
