First Day of School...

What a strange feeling it is to be walking back into an educational instutition. To be paying fees again, to have a student id card, to be surrounded by many many people as we all try to gain a little bit of information that we might use to further our minds and as I've found with most people, our careers and our padded pockets.

Anyway things have been pretty busy for me as of late, just getting ready for school, just trying to prepare everything so that I don't end up walking into a class only to have the professor say... um your not actually on my list! But all has gone well so far.

I'm pretty stoked about the health aspect of going to school this year. It's about 1 hour from my house to any given classroom at the U, which means that the earliest I have to leave the house this semester, unless I get an early day job, is 9:00. Also all of the breaks that I have between classes line up really well with the lane swimming at the pool here, which I have access to via my U pass. Thus hoping to get in some swimming daily, maybe get some weights in and all that jazz, but there are some things in the not to distant future that I'd like to be a little more in shape for so that'll be good.

I'm taking four courses this semester. Psychology 1000, Philosophy 1000, Sociology 1000, and Liberal Education 1000. I'm pretty stoked for this because the four "ology's" are ones that I've been wanting to take for a long time, and if I'm going to switch my degree from Psych it will be to one of these other courses. So here we go.

Anyway I'm starting this blog up again because first of all I'm going to have a lot of time on computers, and maybe just maybe something I learn here will be postable, and thus potentially effect the world at large.

But anyway I'm going to head off and try to get my hands on my student Id card. First class in less than an hour now... little nervous. What if in the few years between Bethany College and now I've forgotten how to learn????

School is pretty cool. I'm currently temp-ing at the University of Pittsburgh, my alma mater. It's strange, in a good way, to be back around all the students.

Good luck! I look forward to hearing how year goes!
