...for the first time in almost 10 years I sat in a college classroom last night. Surreal doesn't even describe how I felt. I don't remember how I felt my first class at CWRU, but TriC, well, it was interesting how much I'd forgotten....

...profs who teach straight from the text, but grade you on attendance
...oh-so-cool freshmen to think they ( Read more... )

That's great! Doesn't it feel great to actually use your brain again? For me it was such a welcome change from cleaning, cooking, and changing poopie diapees all day. I know you'll do great, and be an awesome nurse!

So I, er, totally meant to ask about school when we saw you over the weekend. It sounds like it's going well, but I confess that I have no idea what you're studying...

I'm officially signed up as a pre-sonography student but I'm 99% sure that I'm going to change over to radiation therapy. I have until the spring to decide. :) We had a great time at the party, so glad we could come!!!

Now, now, we must not criticize people who teach from the book. It could be that they never taught the class before and aren't quite sure topics to include and no one will tell them and then they got the book less than 24 hours before the class started. Um, or maybe that is just me :)

Good luck! You shall get into the swing of things in no time. Soon, the all-knowing freshmen will discover things like kamikazes and peppermint schnapps and get hang overs and forget to do their homework. Then, they shall realize they are not all knowing and begin to worship you as is your right.

Darling, that's just you :) This guy's taught the class at least 3 times before.

I heard about the book disaster from eLiz. How was it resolved?

How are you btw? Why you no call me back?

Ha! I did! You never answer your phone!

I suppose I could have left a message to let you know I called...
