I just wanted to give you an update about the first day of school for Claire and I!!!
We got up really early compared to sleeping in until 10 and 11 everyday this summer. My mom got me up at 7:30 this morning. I didn't even know there was a 7:30 in the morning!!! It turns out there is one. And I only had my mom wake me up because alarm clocks give me mini heart attacks and then I get out of bed and my stomach feels nervous and then I don't feel real good. But we got ready and we looked super cute because we wanted to make a good impression. Then we loaded into my little Bug, realized that we forgot our water bottles, so we got them and pulled out of our driveway.
On the way to school, we waited on hold, on my phone, for about five minutes, we waited for a train and we listened to approximately two complete songs because of telephone conversations. We did not get lost whilst on our way to Ivy Tech. Which was super good because sometimes I am really bad with directions. We drove around the parking lot for a few moments, saw where all the "cool kids" hang out to smoke, prayed together and found a nifty little parking space. We walked up to my classroom together, and Claire went on from there. She did not want me to hug her.
Ivy Tech is different from Bethel by about a million and one things. First off, I love the idea of cheap education. Ivy Tech is really good in that aspect. My teacher really enjoyed cussing in front of the class and making crude jokes. I suppose that when you are teaching psychology, these things are acceptable. He was very rude, but I guess he was funny because the class was laughing at what he said. I thought he was being unprofessional. The girl next to me kept rolling her eyes and asking if we were in high school, and she got really frustrated every time the teacher said we needed to read the book, do online quizzes and assignments. Maybe she doesn't understand that college is actually work. She seemed grumpy to be there and her fake eyelashes were not glued on properly.
I sat through the entire class listening to the teacher explain that he does not take excuses, that he will not pretend that some stuff in the book is boring, that he cannot help one student without doing the same for everybody else and he said about 50 times that he will never actually care about us as students. Needless to say, I am no longer enrolled in psychology. Now I am just taking an online History class. I know, I shouldn't strain myself ;)
I am glad though that I have the opportunity to spend 30 minutes with my sister every day driving her to school. She is awesome. She had a good first day of college. Mostly her classes have to do with interior design. I think that she will do great.
I also met with the family that I am going to nanny for this year. They are really sweet. I think that I will enjoy it so much!
There are many promising things in the year ahead, and there is also a lot of uncertainty and fear that comes with growing up and deciding how to live my life.
