My second day in school

Today started like any other day, got up and got ready for school, woke my kids up and got them ready for school and it was out the door we went. As I drove down 94w I noticed quite a traffic build up so I took the next exit and planned an alternate route to daycare. That route was also full of standstill traffic and I hit panic mode! Thoughts of walking in late to my first day of Intro to Application Software kept going through my head. I never imagined being late for any classes and thought I would be embarrassed if I were. I couldn't help but look at the clock in my car and try to guess what time I would finally arrive at school.
 After I dropped my kids off I quickly checked twitter and saw a traffic update from Kare 11. I found out there was an accident on 35e N that had shut the freeway down a few miles before the exit I needed. I had to plan another alternate route, but there aren't any as fast as 35e to 36 to get to school. I hopped on 94e and exited on Century ave and tried my best to get to school on time. I had made it to the parking lot with 10 minutes to spare which isn't much when the parking lots at school are a mess and cars are packed in like sardines in a can. I took the first spot I found and hustled into the building.
 Walking in the hallways were quiet and empty which was quite a change from yesterday. I had about 8 minutes to make it to class on time, a class that I had never been to, and a room that I never bothered to find prior to today. As I walked down the empty corridor watching the room numbers I couldn't help but be paranoid that I would walk in a few minutes late. Finally I was close to my classroom, now to find it. Turning left here and right next and..... that is not my class room. How could I have missed it? There were a couple of students walking who were looking for the same class as me, however they were smart enough to stop and ask for help. I gingerly followed them while watching the time hoping I would make it.
 I walked into class with 5 minutes to spare and took a sigh of relief. The professor greeted me by holding a roll of toilet paper and saying "take how much you think you'll need." Confused I ripped off a few squares as I awkwardly found a place to sit. Later in class she revealed that the toilet paper was an ice breaker, the number of pieces you ripped off determined how many things about yourself you had to tell the class. I had 5 here are the things I told them.

• I have been married for almost 8 years.
• I have 3 children
• This is my first time in school in ten years
• I write a blog where I interview athletes who are on twitter
• I am majoring in Marketing Management

This class was full of a lively group who seemed to have fun, and I really think I am going to enjoy it.

 My next class was Principles of Marketing and just right up the hall from my first class. There were about 4 students from my software class who were also in this one. Lynn (the professor) talked briefly about the syllabus and what would be expected of us, and what we can expect of her. After that we had to "market" ourselves to the class. This is a class that will be mostly team based so the purpose was to let the others know what they were in for had you ended up on their team. It was a really interesting exercise that gave you the chance to get to know your classmates in a non typical form. I can already tell that this will be my favorite class of the semester.

 I will write again on the weekend if time permits otherwise it will be between classes on Monday. As always thank you for taking the time to read, have a great day!
