(no longer a nanny)Kate

it's official...
i go back to school on august 29, three days a week, only two classes right now, but both sciences, which i am not good at.

classes begin.... MONDAY.

i can't believe i'm going back. it's crazy.
but i'm excited. i want to learn this stuff, i want to get it this time around. and i want to do well. i want this new career plan more than anything. :) yay for me.
and yay for my mom being willing to help me pay this. because otherwise there is no way i could possibly do it.

my entire work schedule will be changing. which is ok, it's just going to cause minor issues at the church, as my wed's are no longer free to be at the church the entire day. it will work out, my priest knows the plans i have, so i think he'll be ok with moving our staff meeting, i hope. will have to talk to him this week about it.

ack. school!

i realized yesterday that next monday is the 29th. i had been going around and answering the 29th when people said, 'when do classes start?' but had apparently no idea that the 29th was NEXT MONDAY! am trying to remain calm, have to get parking pass, student ID, and books, this week. chem books costing upwards of $130, and i am certain the bio. classes will be arouns the same. who has that kind of money to spend on books you'll read through for 4 months and then give away? seriously.

i spent a good deal of money on my books at rwc. but never that much on one. my classes required about 6 books a class (on average) and although i spent that much per class, it was 6 BOOKS! not one. good God.

oh, AND i talked to my boss at wegs yesterday re: severe lack of hours this week. and she said she's got me back up at 22-ish next week. which is nice of her. however, this means in all probability that those hours are during my classes and thereby i don't really have 22 hours. i have something like 4. grrr. but it's not her fault, she didn't know i was a maniac and going back to school and hadn't decided till just now and didn't get into classes until JUST THIS MINUTE. oi.

will update with more later. right now, my to-do list is quite long... in fact, i think i'll share it so you all can say, 'wow kate, you are so busy. i don't know how you're going to fit classes in to your schedule.' and be impressed with me. :) ha
