Last night marked the first class of my Masters career. I must admit, I was somewhat nervous. I worked from home because it was too damn cold to go outside. I tend to be a baby with things like that... but seriously. It was NEGATIVE 14 with a NEGATIVE 40 windchill! Moving on...
It was an extremely busy work day, which is somewhat rare for me. The clock struck 4:30 and I decided to trade my fleece pants and sweatshirt for a slightly nicer looking outfit. Afterall, if there is one thing I remember about St. Thomas it's - Don't show up in your pajamas. You will be shunned.
Now, class didn't start until 6, but I am always early and didn't want this to be an exception. I was SO glad that I left when I did! Traffic was horrendous! (Nice word.) It took me 40 minutes to get downtown alone! Of course, when I am nervous and driving I tend to make really stupid driving decisions. For example. instead of taking the interstate, I exited on University with the intention of cutting through the U of M. BAD idea. It was also the start of their semester (duh) and University/4th was all backed up. Super.
I finally made my way downtown and after taking two wrong turns - Found UST. This is also somewhat funny because I know downtown like the back of my hand, so for me to get lost is ridiculous. Again, moving on...
The ramp that I was banking on parking in was full. Thank you to Lindsay for calling me with a hot tip on an open lot right across the street. LOVE her. So, we parked our cars and headed into good ol'St. Thomas for my Grad School debut.
After a quick stop in the cafeteria, I made my way to Room 442 (aka "Fox Room") I pulled out my pretty new five star and waited for class to begin. There were 10 people in my class - All women. The professor "taught" us the full 3 hours which rumor has it - is unheard of for the first night. Lucky me, right?! The clock struck 9 and she revealed our homework assignments for next week. Is it bizarre that I am excited to have homework?
All in all, last night was a success. Better yet, I am looking forward to next week!
