back to school

yesterday was my first day back to school (on an actual college campus) in a long time.  it's been over eighteen months since i attended a class.

first of all, it's going to be really challenging.  i mean, i haven't constructed an educated thought, much less an eight page paper for a while.

second of all, i really loved it.  i really love being at home with jonah every day, but it was nice to listen to an intellectual discussion with real-live adults.  i think i'm so excited about it because i haven't had the chance to go since i had jonah and i'm just really grateful for the people who are willing to help me out while i try to finish college.

i'm mostly worried about how i'm going to have time to read everything (pride and prejudice in a week?!  i've been trying to read it since july), but i think it will work out.

so i'm off.  wish me luck.  i will really need it.

At least you have to read a great book in a week and not pukey reading. If I can find my stuff, I have lots of notes on P&P so you can be brilliant with your comments in class that no one will think of because they haven't been in the class yet.

I don't know how you can juggle everything you do. You are pretty amazing. Good luck!

Good luck! You'll be great. And if you have to read a novel in a week, nothing better than P&P (one of my fav. books).


If you ever need a last minute babysitter for Jonah give me a call!

Matco, you can do it! Especially since your willing to go back and finish, i'm sure you'll have an extra guide there for you, if you know what I mean. Enjoy!
