First Day of School!

I am once again back in school after another semester break from the jaw surgery. One of these days I will be done with school. Hopefully with no more breaks to get in my way. So, for a little background, I have not taken morning classes at Weber States main campus since my first semster in school which was like 7 years ago or something like that. Anyway, I have taken classes at the Davis Campus or night classes since then. So, I go to school on the first day and I am already running a little late and I have to drop off the girls at the daycare before I head to class. This year we spent $100 on an A2 parking pass, which means we got a parking pass to the parking lot that was more convenient for me in dropping the kids off and getting to class. I wasn't worried about running late because I had that A2 pass. Well, I pull into the Weber State area and there is traffic. I'm like "great!" So, I pull into the parking lot and there are NO spots at all, and there were like 10 cars driving around trying to find spots. I circled the parking lot twice, then I decided I would just go find a W parking lot and park in there. As I was pulling out of the A2 lot, there was my brothers car, parked all nice and snuggly in a little parking spot. So I drive the whole campus looking for a spot and can't find one. So, I go back to A2 thinking maybe someone left and I would get lucky. No such luck again. But, the A2 lot does have special stalls for parents to park that are taking their kids to the childrens school. You have to have a special permit for that, and my kids aren't going to the childrens school they are going to the Nontraditional student daycare. Anyway, parking services were walking around giving people tickets that didn't have passes. So I pulled up and asked the girl if I could just park in one of those spots while I took my kids to daycare. She said that was fine. So after I dropped the girls off, (an hour after I got to Weber), I circled the lot one more time. Finally I decided I wasn't going to get a spot and went to the Dee Events Center to park. I got parked fine there and caught the shuttle back to Weber. So, by the time I got there-- a half hour after I dropped the girls off-- I was rushing to class and I was walking so fast and it was super hot! Then I got to my building and my class is on the third floor. So I took 2 flights of stairs, and finally got to my first class. I was seriously dripping sweat by that time. I walked in, grabbed the syllabus from the back desk, and walked to the only open desk in class, which was in the front, and sat down as she said, "ok, finish filling that out and you guys are free to go." So first day of school- I miss my first class- lovely. Fortunately my other two classes went fine. And today, I had no problems parking, dropping the girls off, or getting to class. I was beginning to think that this was my sign that I shouldn't be going to school. But, I think that life would not be life without experiences like this. I am grateful that I have the opportunity to get my education, even if I have to go through some tough stuff in the process.
