First Day

Back to the grind.  School is back in session and today was exhausting.  It wasn't the going to school part that was tiring.  It was the getting up and driving part.  Even though I got up the same time as usual to go to work, it was different.  School takes brain energy.  Sounds funny but it is true!  By the time I got to work I was tired!  My body just needs to get back in its "school state" to be functional.  It only takes about a week to achieve this so-called "school state."  

Thankfully, today went as planned.  Got the syllabus for two of my classes and it was relatively relaxing because it was the first day.  You go over what you will be doing for the next four months of your life and think to yourself... How the hell am I going to finish all this?  Somehow I always do.  It just seems like a lot when you are sitting there examining it all, week by week, test by test.  Spread out it is no big deal.  Today was a success and I am really looking forward to this semester.  I love both teachers so far (as far as I can tell in an hour and a half I was with them today).  I already know tomorrow will go well because I have Cavin's philosophy class.  Love him!  That will be fine and dandy and then history.  I'm sure tomorrow will be a breeze as well considering it is the first day all over again with Tuesday/Thursday classes.

Our school underwent a huge make-over this past year and the new parts are finally open and they are absolutely beautiful.  We have a new cafeteria, bookstore, student union, and administration offices.  The older buildings were re-modeled and look great.  Every classroom I have been in has been a great room and looks amazing.  It makes me not want to leave!  I wish I could just get my Bachelor's degree there.  I will have to soak up all the newness, niceness, and loveliness this semester because after December it will be bye bye community college.
