started classes today. that was an adventure. wow.
in my first class (Theory) i found that since i had "scored well" on the theory placement test i would be placed in the advanced section of the class which of course met at a different time. so i had to re-work the scheduling for that but it all worked out. at first i was excited because i thought this meant i was skipping a class of theory and would be ahead, but it turns out it is just a faster paced section and we cover more material. you still have to take the same number of classes. what i want to know is what they consider "scoring well" on this test because i found it pretty difficult...
the highlight of my day was finding out that i have a class with one of my brother's friends. it is this freshmen gen-ed class about worldviews that e.v.e.r.y.o.n.e has to take. no exceptions. and you can't take it online. so it's like all freshmen...and me. but my mom and brother had been joking that i could be in classes with some of my brother's friends that go here and lo and behold...i am! so i sat with him and we had a good laugh over it all.
ran into a few other people from home, one of which i hadn't talked to since about high school so that was interesting...not nearly as horrible as i had pictured in my mind :)
my big issue right now is the ongoing issue of finding a staff person who will help me through this whole i-want-to-graduate-in-two-years problem. the worship program isn't exactly designed for people like me and so far i've had a really difficult time getting help. i sent an email to someone in the department and i'm optimistic that this person can tell me exactly who i need to talk to and not try and answer my questions themselves and just dance around the answer since they don't really know.
and there's that specialization class i'm still waiting for approval on...
pictures of the apartment are coming...hopefully soon :)

I hope all the details work out to your benefit. I am glad you are settling in! Things here going okay, your mom is amazing and handling things well. She looks better each day. we've had some good laughs together! I am praying for you...
I'm glad you're settling in and have started classes. Funny about having a class with P's friend! I haven't been able to see your mom yet. I broke a finger over the weekend and am in a soft cast to my elbow. (Typing with one hand is so slow!)But she sounds so calm on the phone and has maintained her wonderful sense of humor. Praying you can connect with the right person to help you figure out the 2 year plan.
