Care Package

As a goodbye gift, my New York colleagues have given me a boxful of gifts to prepare me for campus life. They called it an "academic survival kit" or "prof in-a-box." It includes:

--Sunglasses and sunscreen for outdoor seminars on unbearably beautiful California days.

--The Worst Case Scenario cardgame.

--A School Bell to bring class to order.

--A Little Extra Cash (play money) to supplement that generous professorial salary.

--Stickers for brown-nosing students.

--A Red Medicine Bundle to keep the good spirits in the classroom.

I wonder which one of these I'll need first? I've got six bucks left on my NY subway pass.
