school is like, work ~

i did my orientation today. it was mostly uneventuful and orientationy. i got my school id made (ooo yay ~ discounts). i also picked up some of my textbooks. i had a look at the syllabus for my first two classes and ~ er ~ well ~ yikes. i guess i really have been out of school for a long time. this is going to actually require some focus for a change (something which no one has required of me since my first job at Metamor back in 1999).

well i'm still excited and if i flop, it will be in a great grand style. i fully expect to suck this term. i hope i don't, but i'll be okay if i do. i've never been a "must get straight As or die" sort of student. i wouldn't mind keeping my gpa up there in the good zone, but i'm less concerned about that than i am about simply and actually learning something.

in other news, the snow drifts are quite impressive. took the dogs out lollygagging this afternoon and sunk in up above my shins when we went off the beaten path at the park. then i hit my head following them up and through the kiddie gym thing (at which point i realized those things are made for kiddies and dogs, not adults), and so we came home.

tonight i am going star-gazing with newfound friends.

~ joy!
