Where's the Rug for My Nap?

In case you were wondering I did get into all three classes at the community college. And I have loved every minute of it. My classes are engaging, I am gaining all sorts of new talents, and the instructors are very approachable. (Much more so than my experience at a particularly well-known university where I received my first degree.) The other nice thing about the community college is that I am not the oldest student there. I saw a few older students when I went in to get my parking pass, and I wanted to fist-pump all of them in some sort of recognition of solidarity. Anyway, in my classes, I am not the only one with a previous degree, nor am I the only one starting over.

It really has felt like I am completely starting over....like, kindergarten starting over. This quarter I did a lot of:
cutting and pasting. I am pretty good at it too. Two of my cutting and pasting projects are still at school and will be displayed in the hallway. I should have taken pictures before turning them in. Somehow I am not sure if I will ever get them back...

I've also drawn kitties and houses. Not to mention all sorts of other things.

Last, I re-learned how to write the alphabet and numbers. And unlike my penmanship grades in kindergarten and 1st grade, I actually did pretty well with the new style (which requires a drafting table, straight edge, and 45-degree triangle to accomplish).

I am also a straight-A student. I'm pretty sure that never happened at BYU, either.
