"Anttonen, known as 'Doc,' is the chief evangelist for getting students to graduate from the public institution outside Lancaster, Pa. Anttonen says retention, or holding on to students, is simple in theory."
It bothers me greatly that Larry felt the need to define the meaning of retention. Have we really sunk low enough that journalists break down laymen terms into lamer terms? That was a bad joke. I'm really tired and cranky. My eye has been twitching all day. This first week of school feels like it took a month to get through. It feels like the exciting yet stressful joys of Thanksgiving + Christmas + New Year's Eve rolled into a ball. I am so thankful to be back in school but I'm also very aware that the kitchen floor looks like a bed made in heaven from my position here at the table.
