Today I went to two classes, and made sure I was at the school early. I forgot how ridiculous parking can be at a busy school. I was REALLY glad I got there early. I was actually sitting outside the classroom 30 minutes early, maybe a tad excessive, but I was convinced something catastrophic was going to happen to keep me from getting to class on time.
While introducing myself in my customer service class, I mentioned my B.A. from PLU. Maybe I was trying to prove I belonged there, I'm not sure, but I think I may have intimidated my classmates. Classmates who were diverse in ethnicity as well as age and previous education. No one else mentioned any previous degrees, only the programs they were working on currently. So, for a moment there, I felt like an arrogant jerk, when honestly I was nervous and insecure. Oh well, if I can just be myself and be friendly and open, people will see I'm not going to judge and condescend. These classes will pose a challenge to me as well, I'm sure.
I already have homework for both classes I attended today. Luckily, they weren't huge assignments: reading a chapter and finding and writing a short discussion about an article concerning customer service. However, I'm finding the customer service articles a challenge to find.
To top of my collegiate day, Neila and I made a very "starving student" dinner of white rice and frozen broccoli topped with tomato bisque soup with pieces of cut up tofurky dogs. I know...it sounds disgusting, but it wasn't bad, and we were being "resourceful" with the items in our cupboard.
I'm going to attempt to go to bed...for reals tonight...by about 11, which means I better sign off and start winding down.
Good night from this returning college student.
