People at work are always asking how school's going and I generally just say "fine" because I'm not sure what kind of answer they are looking for
Exactly! I had figured out how to answer about my new apartment, but now apparently I have to learn how to answer re: the continued status of my job/apartment.
I've gotten so used to seeing people either almost every day (HBS) or almost every week (CAUMC) that I literally do this mental flail trying to think of anecdotes to emblematize the "fine" (clearly I will need to remember to plan ahead next time -- though next Singspiration I will have over a month of Medieval Church under my belt, so I can mention that; and the NEG course will have started, so I will no longer have to explain Faculty Recruiting when talking about my job with people).
