I sat in my desk, grading some of my college students’s papers. God, I thought college kids were supposed to be smart?

I shook my head, setting my papers down and rubbing my temples for a moment.

God, get your act together, Brennan.

If recently gotten a new teaching assistant- today was supposed to be her first day. I noticed her off to the side with a clipboard, occasionally glancing up to monitor the students. I rolled my eyes and went back to grading the never-ceasing papers.
