College updates

So I went to my orientation last Thursday night. Wow...how odd was that feeling? To be sitting in a college auditorium again after so many years (ummmm....yeah.....10? noooo...15? yeah...if we count Sr. year...I just make that!)

So exactly 18 years after starting....I'm returning. It was an odd feeling. Some of the people sitting around me looked like me....some were still youngsters. (yes, I know, I'm not that old...but sitting near a couple of 18-20 year olds, one of whom asked if I was there with my son or daughter, made me *feel* old!). Then it dawned on me...if I had had a child when I first met Curt....I *COULD* be taking the child to college....which means that a couple of my high school classmates who had kids when they were in high school....may be the parents in that room.

But on the positive side...got to meet a very cool professor. He helped found the college in 1971-1972. Yep...the college is the same age as me. :) He teaches a capstone class that i will probably have to take. And was able to get my ID. I feel so official now! And one of my favorite parts...although not on the schedule...was going through the art gallery in the library. they were having a display of mosiacs. Beautiful...and thought provoking.... (yep...another blog is on it's way....)
