In a class by myself

I am. In a class by myself. The summer class I'm taking toward my MBA pertains to the legal and regulatory environment of business, and I guess almost every other student of this college decided that was just too heavy of a topic for summer. Because only one other student registered for this class, and he isn't local, so he's not attending the classroom sessions; he's only participating online.

Last week, the instructor and I met to review the syllabus and so he could set the tone of the class. We were the only two people there. This week, he started lecturing and he lectured only to me. I'm being privately tutored.

Now I had some small upper-level classes when I got my undergrad degree from this college over 20 years ago, but this is new.

Needless to say, I'm making sure I do my preparatory reading for class!

Flashing

Greg raised the blind in our bathroom this weekend. It's almost never open because the bathroom window is quite large. Awhile later, I went in to take a shower. I took a look; the trees have grown up so much that as long as I didn't get close to the window, and as long as I stayed away from one angle, no one was going to see me if I didn't close it while I showered. The only possible angle where someone would see me is if our neighbors were right out at their property line, and based on the look of their "garden" back there, that wasn't going to happen.

So I took my shower, dried off behind the shower curtain, and pulled the curtain open. And even without my glasses, I could see, our neighbor was back along the property line, facing in my direction, mowing his grass.

I ducked.
