My first day in Pictures...crazymama goes back to school

I said i wasn't taking pictures of my first day of school. ( my first day in like 11 and a half years. )
but i have a fab friend that suggested i should do it from my perspective. and here we are. a glimpse into my first day back in college. i know you've been dying to know how it went!

i had a fabulous first day back in school!

yeah baby! what was i worried about?

oh yeah! i was totally worried about.....

being the oldest?

being the fattest?

being the ugliest?

and the uncoolest?



remember i was stressed about what to wear?

i went with my uniform. black shirt, capri's , crocs flip flops. and while we took pictures i remembered i forgot earrings. so i grabbed some and left.

sorry you missed the picture.
i just couldn't hack it on here for forever.

i drove Pierce to school. on my way to school.

i was slightly nervous but the liquid sanity on the way helped. that and hearing my fave song come on the radio as i drove.

i got a great parking place. and was early to class. i sat in the FRONT desk.
and doodled to kill time. checked my facebook and email from my phone.

see my bags? i was going to leave my bag in the car,
to avoid the retarded luggage look,

ya know! Carrying a purse, and bag.
it always looks like someone thinks they are packing for a long trip.
it's one of my pet peeves.

i went as far as leaving it in the car.

I had a folder , a notebook and my purse. but realized as i was about to cross the crosswalk to class from my car, i left my cell phone in the front seat. i needed it, so when i went back to retrieve my security blanket CELL PHONE , so i brought the bag. since I'd dropped my pen lid, forgot my phone, and had slippery folders. and i didn't want to go back to the parking lot in between classes so better to have too much then not enough.

this may be the only time i use it. until i have more to carry. another semester. i didn't need it.

my first class was English 102 with it's big research paper no tests and no final.
3 papers due. 2 small ones and a big final paper.

i have to come up with a topic.
there were a few older people in there and a fat guy! sweet!

Then i went and killed time attempting to get in to seek advisment.
but after 50 minutes i bailed and went to class.

deciding that once i got in I'd need more than 5 minutes to discuss whatever,
and i had class in 10.

but it was NOT WASTED TIME...
it was some good people watching i saw-

• a group of 3 trailer park residents , one didn't have a bra on. NICE!

• One kid had his shirt hiked up under his backpack and i could see his underwear. like 3/4 of his butt was exposed.
• a super fat lady in a tank top. and a small backpack. (you know the look)
• a few 15 year olds. ok so they probably just graduated but they looked like they were 15
  

• and i made friends with the old ladies that volunteer to direct people where to go.

I'll try again another day for advisement. it's not urgent.

so i headed over to my 2nd class.

I'm taking retard math. I call it retard math (mostly because i feel like a retard for taking it) but it's technically called Basic arithmetic.

so today we covered all of the things that i think Paxton is covering in 3rd grade. whole numbers, place value, rounding, addition and subtraction.

SWEET!

AWESOME!

i need to build up to higher math levels.
i'm rusty , and was never a math whiz.
i'm totally mathtarded
and i could totally use a refresher.

the math teacher looks all of 25? he might be SLIGHTLY older.
but he's not older than me (at the ripe old age of 32)

it kinda killed me he was so young, so i snagged a camera phone pic of him .

if you know him don't tell him i did that. I know it's dorky.

in this class there were other older students, and even a grandpa looking guy ( totally over 65) with white hair.
there were a few others that were obviously 30 plus also.

we got out early which was rad.

and here was the view of my 2 buildings i had classes in.
(from the parking lot)
there were some nice clouds this afternoon.

but it was as always HOTTER THAN HADES!
OY!

I came home and baked Cookies with Pierce . he was super excited. and the big kids were stoked for a treat when they walked in the door.

Tonight i have girls night out. we are going to see Post Grad. so that should be a delightful end to a good day.

apparently so far i can go to school and do it all still. (and by all i mean what i've always managed to do or not do depending on who you talk to.)

that and the fact i don't have homework yet.

oh and i'm only taking 6 credit hours. because the other science class and lab didn't go towards my degree, and i'm not taking gratuitous classes.

I'm taking only the ones that really count towards my degree program. thus the appointment with the adviser. i want the most direct route possible.
and there we are.

my first day. including pictures.
