Holy Crap!

Wow. The past week has been crazy. I started my semester last Wednesday. I'm taking Microbiology, History, Intro to Professional Nursing, and Aerobic Conditioning. I've come to the conclusion that I've got to BUCKLE down and STAY that way in order to succeed in these classes. They're no joke. They're fascinating, and I'm going to enjoy them, but man, are they hard! So, if I'm scarce at times, I'm probably buried under a term paper on Treponema pallidum! I've taken online classes for the past few years, so to be back on campus was SO cool! I feel like such a student! It's awesome.

The girls started school yesterday. Sarah was SOOOOO excited to be going to kindergarten. She finally feels like a "big girl" now. Watching her get on the bus was excellent. Nope, I didn't cry, but I came close. My babies are growing up. Man, it happens so fast. Sarah's a bit on the shy side, so I was concerned about how she would handle having a bit more independence. I was scared she's be too shy to ask to go to the bathroom or something. Don't think that's going to be a problem at all. She's a dynamo!

I'll Miss You, Andre

I grew up watching him play. Loved his flamboyant style, his balding head, his ass-kickin' on the court. He retired today after his loss to Benjamin Becker in the 3rd Round of the U.S. Open. End of an era.
