First Day

The first day of school is supposed to make you nervous, anxious to see who is back, anticipating every moment before each new class. My first day in sociology with Smith was very unusual. Mine was a little nerve racking. Before walking in, I saw Smith standing at the door and shaking every student hand that walked into the room. Smith sat down on his desk, quietly, and sipped his water. Patiently, no facial expressions, barely making a sound, almost waiting for something to happen. The whole class was on their toes, noone had a clue what he was going to do or even doing for that matter. Nervous laughter and jokes started piling into conversations, almost like he was expecting something to happen. I think that he shakes hands because he wants you to know that he is happy to meet you and that you don't need to be scared, but i was really weirded out. Even though there were 20 or more in the class, im only one person, and i dont know you.
