WOW!

So I've been in school now for 3 weeks. My day starts at about 6:15am. My first class is at 8:00am. It's my Business Law class. My teacher is pretty wild! He is a 62 year old man and is a retired lawyer. He prefers teaching to practicing law. He says he lives in Texas still, but lives in Kennewick for the school year. He is really different from any teacher I've had ever. He likes to press buttons, bring up "hot" issues and swears in class. Everyday I find myself thinking, "My mom would chew this guy out!" He told us the first day of class that he's a "hippie, commie liberal" and sometimes likes to use expletives to explain things. He says that sometimes a good expletive just makes the point better than any other word in the dictionary. Now, I personally find him quite amusing. I kind of like that he is so outside the box. He really makes you think about things from all angles, as opposed to letting a person stay in their own box of ideals. I also find the class material pretty fascinating as well.
Then, at 9:10am, I have my Spanish class. My teacher is fluent in Spanish and French. She is very energetic and fun.
I have both of these classes Monday through Thursday. On Monday and Wednesday nights, from 5:00pm to 7:00pm, I have my Sociology class. I'm not a fan of evening classes and won't do them again! We cover a chapter per class.
All of my classes are very vocab intense and cover a lot of material. I feel pretty overwhelmed with the amount of material and homework we have. And I thought my Accounting class was gonna be the death of me! Wrong!!!!
My days consist of school, going home and working for the office, then on to school work. All mixed in with helping DeAnne with the girls. (Which is my favorite part of course)
It's been good so far, even with the stress of school. Now I'm just waiting for my school loan to come through and my 401K to get transferred to my IRA.
After that, things shouldn't feel quite so stressful.
I'm glad I moved and know I made the right decision for me! I can't believe it's already mid-October. My how time flies!
