Woke up 15 minutes early on my own for some reason. I took the chance to take Buddy on a nice long morning walk. It is so cold in the morning these days! Fall must be lurking and ready to strike with bright beautiful colors any week now! I plan to go down to the Arboretum and play with water colors when the trees really turn. Anyway rest of the morning was uneventful though typing that comment on your blog and then realizing it needed to be retyped so a person that could read English would understand. Hehe I was so very groggy this morning. I just don't know what it was.
Work ended up being work. Nothing special. Just a generic day. I had my time to think and that is the only thing of note that I can come up with to write about it.
Right after I got back from work I took Buddy out and took a shower. Then it was off to Anoka Ramsey! I walked in and signed my name to talk to an adviser when they had time. I sat for a while reading Kushiel's Chosen until my name was called. A man whose name I cannot remember tried to help me. I started going on about Veterans Benefits and he just stood staring at me. My heart sank. I felt that the people here must know even less than Normandale...and that is not a lot to begin with. Thankfully their VA adviser over heard us and jumped right in. He filled me in on the forms I needed to fill out to get everything transferred. He had me fill out an application on the spot and walked me through all the "Late starting" classes they had available. There were so many. At any rate I have an appointment on Wednesday to choose what classes I will take. Later that day I will buy the books and a few days later classes will begin and I will be on my way to fulfilling yet another of my goals. Tomorrow I plan to really look at my schedule and decide if I can go full time or if it will be a few classes to start out the semester.
I can feel my life coming together and it feels wonderful. The drive I have found over the past month is taking my life to everything I have ever thought it could be.
TKD was great today! It was me and about eight others that were all Black, Red or Purple belts. The biggest grin came over my face when he said that we would be sparing today. I spent 40 minutes locked in combat with all the high ranks around me. I counted points to myself in my head and came out about even for wins and losses. There is a chance a few went easy on me but a gold belt holding his own and not getting trounced by a second den black belt is something to be proud of in my book...granted I did not score many points versus them. I had so much fun not to mention that every muscle in my body hurts with that good work out ache.
Tonight the plan with Face changed and I am off to help Andrew move a few things into his new place. With any luck that will end around 9 or 930. Then I head back home to read a book or whatever peeks my interest until I feel sleepy enough to go to bed.I am so very excited to go to school! hehe yay!
Happy two year Kathrine, sleep well

Hey that's awesome! what classes are you thinking about taking? Are you going to be able to work and take full time classes still? don't push yourself too hard when you're first starting, I would hate to see you burn out when you're doing so well. I would say just warm up with a couple of classes, like a math course and a language or an art class. One class you need and one or two classes you want. Whatever you end up doing, I know you'll do well.
ReplyDeleteNice to hear you're kicking ass with TKD still. I'm going to have to sort out my schedule again since I'm taking the Burlesque classes on Wednesdays starting next week. I might do Tuesdays and Thursdays or something for TKD. We'll see
