My brain is fried! And so are my feet! I’m a
dork-I wore flip flops and shorts and ended up walking more today than in the
last 3 months combined. So tomorrow I wear hiking boots or tennis shoes! I am
going to lose the 73 lbs that I gained at that nightmare job in no time at this
rate! I have blisters on the bottoms of my feet and maybe on my brain too LOL! I
LOVED it though!!!  
OK-so the first class was speech, which is a general ed requirement and not only
was I the only student that WASN’T 18 but I was older than the teacher too LOL!
As I sat there though I realized that not only am I not nervous to speak BECAUSE
I’m older But also I perform on stage all the time so no prob-although take
the horn out of my hand and  it’s like my security blanket is gone
Anyway-that should be a breeze as long as I keep up with the writing and
reading. That one is from 10:30-11:50

Environmental studies is from 12-1:20 and that one is going to be very very
interesting! I met two women about my age and we all sat together We were
sharing why we were taking that class and the first lady is takign the class
because her and her husband and her son are going to build a house and they want
to make sure it is as ‘green’ as possible and doesn’t impact the environment
etc. How cool is that?!

Class #3 for the day is Statistics and apparently the scheduled teacher can’t be
there for 3 weeks so we have a faculty guy filling in…not familiar with the
book-I wonder why the regular guy can’t be there? I have to find my graphing
calculator somewhere-and see if I even remember how to turn it on! 

I have SO many books-and just a regular over the shoulder book bag-ouch! And
tomorrow I have to buy ANOTHER book-a history book-ack! 

So, the best parts were "yay-I’m doing it finally!" And, " oh my god I DO have a
brain and this stuff is great-I’m going to blow the 18 year olds out of the
water LOL!

The worst parts were seeing my reflection in the glass as I was walking by the
library. Last time I was on campus I weighed about 140 lbs. Today I weigh 213
lbs…   and then the hardest part-while I was waiting for my statistics class
to start-I toodled down to the music building and found Carmen the music
director who hasn’t seen me…since I weighed 140 lbs…ack….   I am SOOOO nervous about going to karate Thursday night-again these are people that haven’t seen me since I’ve gained all this weight…argh…. 
 
 
Tomorrow is history from 1:30 to 3 and then wind ensemble from 7-10. I will try
to play my audition piece for everyone who will sit still long enough to listen
(February 9th!) 
 
 
I’m off to go soak in a hot tub-my feet hurt!!! But I LOVED today Loved
it!!!! Woo Hoo!!!!
