Standing in the library at grad school, about half an hour away from my first class. I was going to update last night after I got back from registering for classes (they say that by making orientation five days long, it's easier; mostly I think they just want to draw out the suspense and cut down on students by killing us with stress BEFORE we start school) but instead I went home, had some soup--mmm, soup--and took a nap. I have classes, hurrah for me! While the kept trying to make the concept of online registration really really complicated by stressing how important it all was; it wasn't that hard. So I am taking:

--Science in Childhood Ed: I got to buy a book full of all those Mr. Wizard-type science experiments, like how to understand geology by looking at the strata of a PB&J sandwich. I have no idea what they'll make me do in this class, but I'm excited. That's what I have today. *bounces*

--Instruction/Curriculum - Students with Disabilities: This is my required Special Ed class. Only one book! My credit card is thankful.

--Developmental Psychology: Childhood: Pretty self-explanatory. Big honking hardback book titled Development of Children, big shock. Probably lots of reading.

--Heath Ed for Teachers: This is online. !!! Kind of exciting.

So, to recap, I have class T, W, and TH nights. I might be a "reading buddy" at an elementary school earlier in the days for class credit. I might just rejoice in my four day weekend. I'm still pondering on that one.

Life is good. I am actually really living in the city and going to grad school (just like PlaywrightTwin, who I had lunch with). I guess I grew up. Who knew? Except for the fact that I still have a teddybear on my bed. And a pretty pink blanket. w00t. Okay, off to class. Cheers!

PS: capedcrusader92 don't be attacked by the kitties. Pillows made good barricades. Good luck?

Yay, I'm glad you're excited about starting grad school! :D I get giddy every time I look at the classes for library school, and then I get sad that I'm taking a year off. Heehee. We're such academic geeks. And of course it's good to keep a bit of childishness whilst doing these grown-up things. :P Good luck in classes and stuff!

Well, so far I've managed to distract them with food and/or small brightly colored cat toys. The insanity seems to have died down a little now, although Pips cuddled again and Keira apparently got attacked by little invisible gnomes this morning.

Grown-up Katie - whoa! Go you! When I have a paycheck, I'll have to make the trek to NY and see your grown-up living establishment. Duuuuuude...
