I will update this through out the day as I complete classes!
My first day started off like any other typical day, I got up and got the kids breakfast, dressed, and ready for school, but I couldn't help wondering what my first class was going to be like! It was interpersonal communication. Would I need to use a computer during class? Would there be homework? Is there a chance I will know one of the 40 students in the class? Will I get lost in the West campus trying to find my class rooms?
I sat around the house waiting to bring my two youngest kids Lucas and Caitlyn to daycare so I could officially start my first day. I put my coat on about an hour before I needed to leave and double checked my backpack to make sure I had everything I would need. Pens, notebook, planner, course books yep it's all in there.
I just finished my first class Interpersonal Communication. It was not quite what I was expecting but it did remind me of being back in high school. There are about 40 students in the class from what seems like all walks of life. We were given our first homework assignments; read the syllabus by our next class (Wednesday) and read the first chapter of our text book by Friday. I plan to do both of them today after I get home from picking the kids up from school, although I am sure it will take me a few days to read the textbook chapter with all of the other things going on with my kids. PS as far as double checking my backpack and making sure I had everything I overlooked the notebooks. I didn't need one for my first class today, hopefully I won't need one for my second class that starts at 1:00pm
My last class of the day was composition, man the hallways at school get crowded when one class gets out and there is a hoard of people waiting to get into a classroom! I get this feeling composition is going to be a difficult class, but also a great class for developing and also fine tuning my writing ability. I found myself with three short stories to read for that class by Wednesday, I plan to do that after my kids go to bed tonight. I was able to complete both of my homework assignments from my first class before I started cooking dinner.
So far I really like being back in school, it's nice to add a sense of routine back into my life to help balance our the craziness of having three kids. It seems all of my nervousness was over nothing! Being back in a classroom felt so right, I have no clue what I was so worried about, but people say your brains natural reaction is to freak out when it is forced to make changes. I probably won't post another update until next week unless something extraordinary happens.
As always thank you for taking the time to read this, have a wonderful day and feel free to subscribe to this blog or my other blog where I interview athlete http://athleteinterviewsviatwitter.blogspot.com
