Today got off to a bad start. There was an accident on 590 making traffic a complete standstill. This was the day I was supposed to get
mechanchaos to work, meet my aunt to pass over Aidan, then park, then get to class, all before 9am. Well, weaving through the city from the first exit I could get off at soaked up a lot of time.
My many, many thanks to
mechanchaos for offering to walk to work from MCC today.
We drove to the visitors loop at MCC to meet my aunt, was accosted by Public Safety for being there, only to find that she wasn't there yet. We parked the car and hefted our stuff to the loop in time to see her arrive. Exchange of Aidan went well.
Got to class in time, sat down, tried to open my pack - zipper stuck, then broke in order for me to obtain my notebook for class. I've had this backpack since gradeschool, but it's one with a lifetime guarantee... I wonder if they'll still replace it...
Class got out early so I peeked at backpacks in the store. They're available on financial aid, but I'm not certain whether I ought to do that.
Got lost on the way to my second class but still made it in plenty of time. This, after I'd already scoped out the classroom earlier!
Went to where I thought my third class was, sat down with the one girl there and chatted a bit only to realize that no one else arrived and class had supposedly started... Turned out the room was different on my more recent schedule and I'd failed to catch it. We found the class toward its beginning and didn't seem to miss much. I don't like being late, though.
The classes themselves were fine. I explored the photography lab. It's got flatscreen computers in there and I think at least 4-6 separate darkrooms. The class is right at my level. All my classes seem to fit nicely together. I just need to keep on top of the work to be able to balance it with housework, being a mom, and sharing a car. There's only one class I haven't had yet - Com 104 comes tomorrow.
Getting home went smoothly, as did Aidan's arrival back with my Aunt. Study time went smoothly, though the reading is taking longer than I'd hoped. Tomorrow is Aidan's first day of school. I'm really, really hoping the bus is on time...
