Greendale Community College.

Today was a grad school Saturday. I really love my program - it's a perfect fit. George Mason University is a very large university in Northern Virginia, with a few lovely smaller campuses around the area. I made the short trek west to the GMU Prince William County campus for a day full of discussion, reflection and quite a bit of fun.

This morning when I was sitting in class, I started to pretend that I wasn't in Virginia anymore. Our campus is pretty new, and if I squint a little bit, I think I've been transported to Greendale Community College. Today, I saw Abed and Troy working on a video. Jeff and Britta were fighting about something in the cafeteria.

My small group wasn't talking about how to become learner-centered teachers but about Senor Chang's Spanish class and going to the Valentine's dance.

I know that I have a hard time keeping reality and TV separate. But the whole nature of my campus (commuter school, a surplus of adult learners, and the fake homecoming this week) makes it even harder to distinguish the difference.

I'll be back later. I'm going to go to Britta and Troy's dance recital and get a drink with the gang.
