As I hit the off button on the alarm, I forced my tired body out of my warm, soft bed. It finally dawned on me, today was not just an ordinary, dreary Monday morning, but the first day of school! The walk from my bedroom to the bathroom seemed like an eternity. As I finished my business, I turned the water on and cautiously stepped my right, then my left foot into the cold shower. Ahh, awake at last! Looking at the clock, which now said 7:00, I decided I'd better put the Waking Up in Sleepy.

Their computer cousin, an acquisition of Little Flock and Pulaski County School Districts, had made a complete mess of schedules. The counselors' offices were bulg- ing with people as were the halls outside. Correcting schedules was a frustratingly slow business. Everyone suffered the first week: the students, the faculty and, of course, the ill-fated counselors. By the end of the second week, everyone regained cheer be- cause concerned people had repaired the damage. To err is human, but to really foul things up requires a computer, the office sign said.
