Students generally are fascinated to see professors outside of their own classroom or office, but Kristin did a good job of not talking to me like I was an alien. “Are you auditing the class or just sitting in on it?” she inquired.

I told her I was actually enrolled in the class.

“How does a prof enroll in a class?” she asked, somewhat incredulously.

I explained that I had to fill out a few forms, and then John had to e-mail the registrar.

“He did that for you?” she questioned.

I told her how I had been in John’s office after the previous class and explained to him what he needed to do. He looked confused, so I just asked if I could use his computer and send the e-mail from his account. “He agreed, and here I am.”

Kristin laughed, and then I introduced myself to the student behind me. “I’m Joey,” he said. Joey was a physics major and an offensive lineman on the football team. He had a special interest in taking the course: John was his grandfather. Joey had always dreamed of attending Saint John’s and playing football for his grandpa. When it came time to apply for colleges, Joey filled out only one application. Saint John’s accepted it, and Joey’s dream came true.
