Kristi and I got about 3 hours sleep before waking up at 4:00am and getting on the road for our drive to LAX. Our flight was fine, though not too exciting, but that’s just because I’m apparently unimpressed by the miracle of human flight. A comedian I like says that every time we are on a plane we should grip the armrests the whole time and yell “Oh my gosh! I'm flying through the air...in a chair...in the sky?!?"
The 10-acre Waukesha campus is located in the western suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The city of Waukesha has a population of about 65,000. The main campus houses the faculty offices, most of the classrooms, library, a dining hall that seats 170, student dorms, three student lounges, laundry facilities and a bookstore. The campus complex includes additional housing for married students and their children, a 300-seat auditorium, gymnasium, garages and physical plant shops, and playground for the children.
This is the classroom Kristi and I will be in most of the time our first semester. The freshman class in January is always smaller than in the fall semester. We will be a class of about 30 students. Many students and teachers say they prefer the small classes because of the closeness and one on one time students get with the instructors and fellow students.
This is another beautiful shot of the campus. We had a great time, met a lot of great folks, and got a good idea of what to expect in January. We hear that when we arrive all the grass and leaves will be long-gone, and the landscape will be replaced with an ice-cold wonderland. We'll have to buy some warm cloths and a few beanies to keep my bald head warm.
Till next time...Mike
