MY first day back in school...

so, monday was my turn to start school again. oh joy, oh joy! well, two days into it and i'm already not looking forward to my formatting class. i've never been a big fan of computer stuff. especially timed writings and timed tests...ick! spanish on the other hand is going to be fun. today our instructor brought in his conga and played it while we did the alphabet. kinda felt like kindergarten all over again! he's a great instructor, you can tell he really enjoys what he does. tonight is phlebotomy...i'm excited about that. i love drawing blood, don't ask why because i don't know :)

one thing that amazes me is the cost of books. it is ridiculous how much they are. sixty bucks for a tiny book...are you kidding me?! used it's still 40 smackers...insane! the thing that really gets me is when you go to sell them back you get a fraction of what you paid. i hang onto mine, they will come in handy again sometime...yay medical books! anywho....not much longer then i can graduate and start pecking away at my nursing pre-requesits!

First day of 1st grade!!






drake started first grade today...i can't believe it! he was so excited when he got up this morning. he got dressed right away and wouldn't eat his breakfast then stood by the front door for 45 minutes with his backpack on. what a goof. he had a great day and made a friend woohoo! the teacher has his desk surrounded by girls, he's not to big on that. i'm so excited that this year i will be able to take him to and from school and do the pta thing, should be interesting. well, here are some pictures of the first day...enjoy!
