In all the hubbub of the engagement and planning, I forgot one tiny thing...
Today was the first day of my last real semester of grad school. I didn't have class until 9:00, which made parking horrendous. I actually look forward to getting here at 7:30 tomorrow when I will not have to stalk some poor fellow trudging to his car and wait for him to vacate his parking space. Yes, it happened.
To add the the excitement, I left my cell at my apartment. At the moment I feel like I am missing an appendage. And it would not be the first day without forgetting to check my schedule for my class location. So without the option of my phone, I decided to go to the grad office and ask my boss for the copy of my schedule- my AHA moment of the day.
If you are in town you know that it has been raining for quite some time, and if you know me you know that my feet are never outfitted for water or warmth. So wouldn't you know that on my way in, wearing ballet flats, I slipped into a very ungraceful split-like pose in the lobby of Allen for all to see. I got to my feet as quickly as possible, cracked a joke ("It's a little wet right there") and carefully walked away. Of course I caught a few people trying not to laugh at me and one guy said "Yep, looks pretty wet." Sigh.Typical.
Then on to class. The course is called Nonparametric Statistical Methods, a graduate level course. After personal introductions, I learned it is also a required course for math and statistic masters and PhD programs. Woo. Hoo. I was the only education major in the bunch. Luckily, the instructor is fairly easy to understand. However, I am just a tad worried because during the 50 minutes he "reviewed" basic concepts he wanted to remind us of, I am the only one who wrote anything down. Looks like I've got some work ahead of me. But this is my last semester- I can see the light! I just have to get through the tunnel.
School!!

Scary tunnel though, right?
