Work + College + Running Goals

I am starting this post while standing in line at the Pueblo Community College Bookstore. As I wait, I am only able to think about how eager and anxious I am to find out how my life as a full time employee, student and runner will work! Good bye free evenings, hello homework! Bring it on, I'm going to survive this addition to my schedule!

Tomorrow is my first day in my English class. Hopefully I will be able to start my math class tonight. I suppose we will see!!!

To be continued it is finally my turn! YES!

The line at the bookstore went back for what seemed to be ages but in the end it went remarkably quick! I was impressed!

How do I feel post bookstore? I feel like my two classes better teach me a hell of a lot despite the little books! The online College Algebra course just gave me a virtual log in code and my English Composition 121 course only had me purchase two small books that I can fit into my purse! On one side I appreciate these little items but on the other side I am extremely disappointed!! I always felt like I was getting way more for the $100 purchases when the books were huge! As it is I only feel like I spent about $200 on nothing. I am positive I will feel better once class starts.. Teachers always have a way of adding value to their book selections.

Now that I vented my disappointment I will also add that the english books are rather dense with information despite their light weight and small size.

Boy did I feel the stair workout I did last night as I went back and forth to my car! Before my bookstore experience, I had arrived on campus tonight by about 4:30. I talked to admissions about changing my last name from Swanson to Jeffery, just a minor technicality...anyway...I love when I feel my workouts in my muscles! The feeling means that I have accomplished something!

Next on the list tonight? My financial aid entrance seminar. I have to go learn about what loans mean to me. I want to tell them, "darlings, I have more experience with student loans than most. Just give me the damn money!" However, I understand that this is just a requirement they have for all students. So here goes an hour of my time!

Peace!
