First Day of School

As I was thinking of a title for this post I thought of little Nemo jumping on his father, shouting, "First day of school! First day of school!"

Because this has been my first week of school and it deserves some enthusiasm. While I've been late two classes because of my own mistakes, they have gone well. On Monday I began with Digital News, which should prove extremely helpful in the new age of journalism with this whole internet thing. Later that day I was able to see my little Avery again and she is so big! No more baby face and she's a crawling machine and has decided to lift herself up on anything she can, even though she hasn't really figured out how to get down yet.

Tuesday I began with a late start to Public Affairs but my professor didn't seem to mind too much. That class is going to be extremely beneficial because I am now a staff writer for the Capital News Service, which is run by VCU and reports on the Virginia General Assmebly for all kinds of small newspapers throughout Virginia. I'm going to be published in something other than the school paper. Yeah!

Later on Tuesdays I'm suppose to have history but my professor's baby decided to be born later than expected so he canceled class for this week and we'll start next Tuesday. I'm OK with that.

Wednesday I had Digital News again but was late because I thought class started at 9:45 a.m. when it in fact started at 9:20 a.m. Oops... Then there was more babysitting.

Today I didn't have any classes because Public Affairs only meets on Tuesday and history is canceled so I worked vigorously on trying to get a hold of a senator, which proved to be impossible so the story proceeded without him. Oh darn. I hope that one ends up in a paper somewhere so I can send you a link!

Then there was Chick-Fil-A with CSF, which a LOT of people showed up, then finishing the article and now driving back to Grandmama's. Tomorrow I only have one class and then I can hide indoors because it's suppose to be a low of 6 degrees...
