Mike stared out across the sea of faces realizing he'd been droning on and on for a while.
"Any questions?" he asked trying to steer his lecture to more of an interactive session. During his normal classes he'd typically be steeling himself for a barrage of overly reductive queries from his students but with this class he found himself enjoying the depth of the discussions they had.
When the administration had approached him about taking on a night class he thought it was some kind of punishment. As one of the newer sociology professors at the university there was little else he could do but agree to take it on. What he hadn't expected, but probably should have, was the range of experiences and insights the broader demographics of the night course brought with it. During the day he was dealing with mostly the younger full time students but in the evenings it was a mix of his normal students and older ones who were working on completing their degrees later in life. The range of experiences made for far more nuanced discussions than he was used to.
"Ok then, final exams are on Thursday so make sure you go over all your notes and good luck."
As the class filtered out of the room he sat at his desk organizing his papers and loading them into his satchel. One of the other benefits of the night course was that it meant he spent less time in his apartment by himself. Having just moved into the quiet college town less than a year prior his social life was still a shell of what it was before the divorce. Most of the people he'd met thus far were either students or faculty that had their own lives and he just hadn't met anyone he'd connected with yet.
As he stepped out of the sociology building into the warm night air he vowed to himself that he'd make an effort over the summer to get out there again. He wasn't quite sure what that entailed at the moment but he knew he wasn't going to let things go on like this much longer.
