Students are so funny. I walked into class, and I heard rumblings of she got her hair dyed. Then one of the guys said, "did you dye your hair "and I answered "yes, I wanted a change." Then another one of the guys, said "cool." Meanwhile the female students were smiling as if to say, I can't believe they are making comments about her hair. As I was leaving the building, another student that I do not know said to me that she really liked my bag (purse) and that it was cute. When I was a student I would have never made personal comments to the prof's. I was scared of them. It is a sign of the changing times, I guess. I guess I am not scary enough! I think they actually see most of us as people. That is a good thing!
