    With school starting back up tomorrow, summer is officially over. To those of you starting class, good luck. Time to get stuck in traffic on my way to UH!

    When the 100+ days are over then summer is officially over.

    I'd say you should probably have left 45 minutes ago.


    I only have 1 class on site, other 3 are online.

    Oh the joys of being an internet nerd.

    I'd say you have to leave by 7 am at latest. Estimate about an hour drive, then 30 min for parking and walking to classes. Keep in mind it's the first day, so expect a little chaos once you get near campus.

    This is my favorite time of year. For the first time in 3 months, my wife (a teacher) was up before me this morning. :)

    Pick the freeways you travel and send it to your phone. It's much better than having to scan the radio for a traffic update when you leave for school/work. This may be similar to what UH_Traffic is, but I thought I'd post it for all.

    The "September 21st" stuff doesn't matter except to calendar nerds. :) Or people who are not connected with the school year and had to work this whole time anyway.

    I feel like summer is ending way too quickly. I was teaching summer school the whole time anyway, but there is a more relaxed schedule and little breaks at the beginning and end. The odd thing is, today I'm already back for fall, but still sitting around the house because the school I actually attend doesn't start for another week. We have to be about the last ones. I teach night classes at two different schools, though, which have both already started back. It means this whole week I get to sleep late. Still not looking forward to fall though. I used to. Now it's just like, who cares...

    Not really. 4 months of 100 degree days have made this summer drag like no other...and I'm usually a fan of Summer.

    Wow. Nice TRAFFIC MAP. Thanks for that, moes. Although I am not there, it's nice to see Twitter and Google Maps with a good application; so did only students get that, or was it the entire University of Houston Central Park body of faculty, staff, and students? :confused:
