Seriously~~ Am I crazy??
I am back in school. I am forty-eight dusty, time-worn years old and I am back in school. Things have certainly changed over the past three decades.
I am not in a 'vocational school' I now attend 'community college', I do not have 'teachers' I have 'instructors',we have whiteboards not blackboards, we call the instructors by their first names, there is no home room, you do not need to ask permission to go to the bathroom, and unlike most cafeterias, the food here is freakin' awesome!!
There is one thing about being this old~~ I could be most of these people's grandmothers. That just freaks me out. It seems to me that the kids, and I really mean kids, should still be in elementary school, they seem that young to me, but here they all are, sitting beside the resident dinosaur, typing eight hundred and seventy four words a minute to my sorry thirty seven, texting while they are doing it and Facebooking at the same time. While they are doing all that I am struggling to find the delete button.
This would be my second full week here, I am officially learning Business Administration and also unofficially learning that I am greener than a spring tree about all this stuff. Oh pardon me, the correct terminology would be 'all this information'.
Seriously though, I have never in my life felt so overwhelmed or unprepared for anything as this. It has been a riot just trying to get my stupid locker open due to the fact that trying to get the combination right on my lock is a feat of magic just by itself. Note to self~~ buying a combo lock because it looks pretty does not mean it will open any easier. Dang. Should have bought one that opens with a key. Oh well, the next carreer I sign up for I will have to remember that.
Anyways, I have to go put my nose in a book or sixty, so later days, friends, I will write more for you soon. ♥ Sue.
