Back to school, back to school to prove to Dad that I’m not a fool. (I kill me.) As I’m sure you can imagine, school started yesterday. I’m taking 21 credit hours this week, while I try to get into a waitlisted class that I really want to get into. After either getting on the waitlist or not, I’ll be taking 18 credit hours. My week actually hasn’t been that bad yet. I’ve already had 15 credit hours in two days and the classes all seem fun. I actually wish I could take all 21 but I’d be paying out of pocket. Wonder if I should just go ahead and take them anyway and fork over the cash. Hmmm. Something to ponder by drop day on September 11th. I’m taking the following classes: Research Methods (marketing research/statistics, it’s a req.), Principles of Advertising (waitlist), Beginning TV Production, Nonverbal Communication, Writing for the Media, Directed Studio Performance, and Advanced TV Production. It is SO weird how many people in this town that I have met before. There have been a bunch of familiar faces in my classes, one girl I worked with at the Buckle 4 years ago, another guy went to dinner with everyone before prom in 1997, one girl was in an English class with me at PPCC 3 years ago, another guy I worked with at Taco Bell when I was 14, and the last guy I worked with at Wal-Mart (imagine that). I got out of all my classes early this week because it’s the first week and next week we don’t have Monday and Tuesday classes in observance of the Labor Day holiday. That may have an effect on how my classes go.
I had a longer break between my classes than usual because we got out early so I headed to Best Buy to pick up Animal House. I had a Reward Zone gift certificate and a coupon so it only cost $5.50. What a deal! I was hoping to stop by Jamba Juice to give me a little pick me up but didn’t have time. After class was over, I had a couple errands to run so went to Wal-Mart (which I hate) and the post office. Ran into Robyn and Rebekah at the post office. I don’t even know what was wrong with me, probably in a different state of mind having just been breathed on and had my personal space invaded by the nasty guy behind me in line, but it took me a sec to realize it was Robyn. Oops. Rebekah is SO cute, she even smiled for me several times. 🙂 That just made my day. I went to the gym alone (Mom’s having stress at work) today for the first time since I was in L.A. It wasn’t bad at all but I didn’t really want to push myself. I also went tanning since I’ve faded bad. I was so tired when I got home (probably from getting up so early and staying up so late) that I crashed on the couch for 3 hours. I just woke up an hour ago to make dinner since I haven’t eaten a real meal (other than oatmeal) since Sunday. Mmmm fajitas! Now I’m just sitting here watching Tin Cup and waiting for Casey to call.
