First day of school...

Well last night was my first day back to campus in almost 7 years! Needless to say I was nervous about going back especially since the last time I was there I was in my early 20's. It has changed a lot but there are some really good additions. For instance, all the smaller parking lots are now covered. Upon investigation, I realized not only do they serve the purpose of covering and protecting cars but they are also solar panels for using natural energy to power the facility. Great change! I felt trepidation about my class because I did not know where it was located and I did not do a prior "drive by" but I found it first thing without wandering around like an idiot. My class is "Race, Gender and Ethnicity in Film and Popular Culture" and already after 1 class I am fascinated! Great teacher who is enthusiastic and really enjoys what she does and even though I am the second oldest student there, I had a great time. It feels so good to be back in school, I know it sounds dorky but it feels wonderful!

So today is my birthday and all in all, even with all the drama that has been happening lately in my personal life, it feels good to move on to another year, feeling confident and in control of my life.

Next up...A's game on the 30th and Swing class resumes in September...hopefully my partner Jerry joins again!

Tower of Power

Gabby recently acquired a new play tower from my boss Andy. Needless to say, she was VERY excited! And I am too because now she might stop bugging me for 2 seconds...
