Ugh. I want to be leaving work right now, as I've done since the last day of Spring finals (May 16). But no. Now that classes are in session, it's back to 5pm closing time.
I went to KU's HandsUpWalkOut today. It was hot (99 degrees) and sunny and I thoughtlessly wore all black. As I stood on the cement in front of my office building, sweat pouring down my face, my back, my chest, I repeated to myself that the protesters in Ferguson faced tear gas, arrest, and bullets. I could stand there for half an hour in the heat, safe from everything except perhaps a slight sunburn.
