Well today was orientation and registration day for college. after i got a tour of the campus i sat down with my faculty adviser to discuss my major, and get my schedule started. Here is this semesters schedule:
Monday-Wednesday-Friday:
0905-1000 US and Vietnam History
1325-1420 Basic Algebra
Tuesday-Thursday
1100-1220 Intro to World Geography
1400-1520 American History to 1865
i also have a half credit class---Bowling, for my PE requirement but that might have to change since they only give me 10 minutes to get from the bowling alley in downtown Watertown, to my class at the campus. overlooked that somehow. will get it fixed tomorrow.
oh and you cant imagine how happy i was about the Vietnam History class. It was almost made for me. for some of you who don't know, I have a great interest in the Vietnam War and collect artifacts, and do living history reenactments of the war. its going to be a great course for me. the rest of the schedule fills out some of the requirements for my degree. My major is in Museum Studies. When i grow up i want to work in museums.
Don't worry mom and dad and rick, i will still be coming labor day weekend. just might have to leave after my last class. i should still be there by midnight, if everything goes as planned.
other than that, i will be posting more as classes start next week and i get into the swing of things.
Robbie might be changing day cares also. the campus has a day care center on campus for the students. it will be easier for me to drop him off and pick him up, and its going to be way cheaper. also it is a pre-k center so he will be ready for kindergarten next year.
i got a government loan, which surprised me, that covered all of my tuition except for 41 dollars. once my GI Bill kicks in and whatever else i get from VA everything will be good. OMG have you seen the price of books lately????? my books for 4 classes was $472. it was outrageous. but some of the books, like for my Vietnam class, i wont be getting rid of. I'm keeping those. i read the first few pages of one of the books and almost could not put it down.
I also got a student ID Card which you can put money on it and use it around campus, as the soda and snack machines have card readers on them. plus it can be used for other activities like plays and such.
till next week......

This is fun, hearing you talk about college and being so excited. Hmmm, we even said that about book prices when we went to college, ummm, just a few years ago. haha
Keep up on your studies and homework, no computer games until homework is done first!!!
