The 'J-word'

So it's semi-official... I've verbally accepted a 'job' at my alma mater, Marlboro College in Vermont, as a Visiting Professor of Chemistry for the fall of 2008. I'm a little freaked out, okay, a lot freaked out. I prefer to bike commute, but you don't need to consult the monthly averages on weather.com to realize that Vermont indeed has weather. I've retired the fenders and foul weather gear, so I'm not sure how I feel about having to dig that out of storage let alone having to use it. Also, I have no faculty housing option, and I will not receive relocation/travel reimbursement(s). But hey, it's cool... I can get onto the dining hall meal plan. Oh, right... and then there's that TEACHING thing!!!
