Today starts another semester which means the first week is crazy. Hard to find a place to park, a lot of new students that don’t know where things are, and the whole am I going to be the oldest in the class problem I seem to always have.
I arrived 2 hours early thank God or I would not have been able to park in the garage. If I can’t park near school I am not going to school. I know me.
I have already shared where a few buildings are with a few new people. Helping is good!
As far as the oldest in the class goes…As I look around its pretty close. We she see how the classes go. I do know that being older sometimes is better. I have life experience to go along with what ever topic there seems to be.
I am taking my second and last Geology class. 16 weeks of hell. then I can put that behind me. I am also taking a communication theory class. I should have taken this class first I would imagine but I didn’t so I will knock this one out. Most people know I could talk to a tree :0)
I have also been drawing a sacred path card everyday during the week. Today I drew the card of fertility. Seems the things I plant today will move forward with great reward as long as I keep feeding the ideas and want them to grow. Bring on the semester!
Ill let ya know how it goes!

Jan 8 A new semester
Looks like I will be attending college another semester….YEAH! I am trying to be excited. I have never been the school kinda person. Socially yes I am so there but academically….Not so much. It’s not that I am doing bad, I just feel like I have to do better. My own worse enemy really.
I could download one of the syllabus’ I need. The study guide is a crossword puzzle. I am not a fan of these at all. But they are worth extra credit and I need all the extra credit I can get.
I will arrive early. I hate to be late. It all going to be ok. I have my bag packed except for snacks and all is well.
So off I go. I’ll let ya know how it goes!
Jan 7 What a week
Here it is Monday and my to do list has been growing and growing.
School starts tomorrow and I went to print my syllabus’s and well lets just say it is going to be a long semester :0(
I am still struggling with water. You would think tha tthat would ne an easy thing to do…I thougth it would be but it is not. I need to come up with a better way. I did put a water bottle in my book bag. There is a water fountain near both my classes so I figure if I care the bottle I have to fill it up and drink it right. That is my story and I am sticking to it. Baby steps.
Last year I started sending random letters to friends and family memebers so that they recieved mail that wasnt a bill. I did this all year last year and was suprised at how touched people were that they recieved a hand written note. So I started it again this year. My first letter went out this morning.
All in all I am doing well. My photo a day is working well. It has been fun and I have a few partners in crime that help me out. You can check out the pictures a day at the top of the screen or you can check out my littel buddys blog at mrpsadventures.wordpress.com.
Ill update you on how the classes are going soon.
Wish me luck on the water and with school!
Day 25
Here I sit on day 25 and I have learned during these days.
1. I can control what goes in my pie hole :0)
2. 1100 calories are way to little for me to eat.
3. Going to the gym 2-3 times a week makes me feel better about me.
4. When you feel discouraged read other peoples blogs or ask for help.
5. Surround yourself with people that truly care for you.
6. I am smarter then I thought I was (went back to school and things are going good)
7. Learned pizza and I are not friends anymore (not the calories, the grease makes me sick)
8. Using a pedometer helps me see how active and inactive I am (pro and con)
9. Taking time for me everyday has helped me get a better understanding of me
10. I am learning more patients and tolerance of ignorance. I am hoping that the people in my Soc class are seeing things from a different perspective. Its ok to agree to disagree
11. I study better at the library. I can spread out more :0)
12. The best laid plans can always be changed.
13. Its ok to be the oldest in the class. It has had its advantages.
14. Taking a picture a day with my cell phone has been an interesting adventure for sure.
15. I have also been talking to random people. Sometimes it is just that smile or hello that gives a person hope in humanity.
16. Blogging helps keep me honest.
17. I am taking a religion class and it has brought my father and I closer.(we have more to talk about)
18. I have learned to be still and listen (hard for me to do I am a mover)
19. Bad days come and go…get over it and move on to the next day
20. Listen. Sometimes that is the best answer.
There is my top 20 off the top of my head. I hope that each of you are doing well and have a support system that works for you. I am lucky that I do and I am thankful for that more then I could ever say.
I am thankful for friends, family, blogs and bloggers, the gym, school, cameras, creativity, work and a whole bunch of other things.
Have a great Wednesday everyone.
Till Next Time…
Day 10
I have learned a few thing sense my last blog…..
I am not as young as I think I am….proven when I started another quarter of school. I am actually going to class instead of doing internet classes. As I looked around the room at my first class I am the oldest student by 14 years. The instructor has me beat maybe by 5 years. The second class I know I am older then even the teacher. But I can be young and hip right….LOL
Secondly, the Tapeworm, Tippo, has instructed me that if I don’t eat every 2 hours while I am awake he will cause lots of noise in my tummy and cause me to be grumpy. It doesn’t have to be much of anything just really a few bites but he is defiantly running my railroad.
I made it thru the funeral yesterday with out any major problems. Of course there was plenty of food around and I stayed away from most of the bad stuff. Really when Im sad I’m not an eater anyway. But I did eat a bad for you cheese bread last night only 3 little pieces. I had the calories left for the day but….it was a fail for me. I did walk for 45 minutes tho. Ill try and work it off tomorrow at the gym. I know I will not be perfect all the time but I knew better…I have a bad habit of taking 2 steps forward to come three steps back. I am not going to let that happen to me. I WILL MAKE THIS CHANGE!
There is lots of reading to be done for these classes. Lots of butt time I am afraid. SO I am working out a schedule where when I ride the stationary bike I can read. We will see if this works. Who am I kidding I need to concentrate on me during my gym time….Your right brain…all about me…LOL
Till Next Time….
