On getting schooled

Current mood: drop it, already

I got my first textbook of the season the other day. When I went downstairs to retrieve it from the parcel room, I was excited, so the receptionist's moue of sympathy didn't sit very well. Perhaps I'm a bit oversensitive because I've been hearing nothing but expressions of sadness and non-mock horror whenever I talk about my project, my upcoming classes, my desire to learn, etc. One of my coworker's "You're crazy!!" expostulations has no trace of humor or empathy, and more than a smidge of derision. Grrrrrr.
