School Days

Last week, I started a college class. As it is not officially a semester, but rather "Winter School" only a small number of classes are available, and you're only permitted to take a maximum of 4 units (so basically, you can only take 1 class). In 12 days we knock out an entire semester's workload and exam and while it is the humanites and "easier" courses that are available it is certainly a lot of work. Hours of homework everyday leave little time for much else, especially with class from 9am-12:30pm every day...but it's amazing what you can get done when what you're doing is varied. My last few days have been as so:

Wake up, make thermos of tea, drive to class.
In class until 12:30pm.
Drive home via supermarket to pick up produce for dinner.
Once home, edit a video for TF, work on model bookings, etc.
Take the dog to the park.
Cook dinner (and I mean nice dinners like veal with roasted potatoes, carrots and a spinach salad).
Do homework for class
Go to bed only to wake up and do it all again!

It has been a long time since I leaped out of bed in the morning wanting to go wherever it is I am needed but this class is fun, and as I am doing very well in it, so a lot of my fears about college (being the oldest, the dumbest, etc) are disappearing and while I do not know if I will pursue a degree I am certainly loving that for the first time in a long time I feel as if my brain may not be made of liquid (making porn will make you feel that way).

Take care,
