I'm Back!!

I've spent the last two months in Hartford, CT, commuting home on weekends while I completed the ARC I teacher certification program.  I've never worked so hard in my entire life.  It was exhausting and exhilarating.

I've spent the last couple of days enjoying things I've missed - like being with my family, and sleeping in my own bed (and sleeping in general!)

Back to School!

I am safely ensconced in a hotel in Hartford.  Tomorrow, I start my classes.  The alarm clock is ready to go.  I have to write a short paper and then I can go to bed, although I don’t expect to sleep well tonight.

The town where Daniel’s gala is tomorrow night is actually closer than home, so I’ll see my guys tomorrow night in Waterbury.  The kids are performing 2 numbers from Fiddler, and the cast is up for 9 awards.  I’m so excited to be able to go!

As we loaded up the car, Dumbledore ran down to the garage and tried to get in the car.  He was certain he was going with me (after all he always has before!).  I felt really bad for the little guy, he doesn’t understand.

Excited About The Challenge

Thursday night was the orientation for the program I'll be doing this summer.  It was a long evening, but I came away very pumped and excited about it.  The work is starting already, with a ton of reading and some projects due by the time we get started in June.  I awoke this morning, not just undaunted by all the work, but excited to get started.

I'm hoping to find somewhere inexpensive to stay over in the Hartford area during the week, because Momma needs her sleep and you know the one hour drive each way will be done at the expense of at least two hours of sleep every day.  It's also two hours a day more I could be working on school work.  Each day long lecture is going to be an entire college course worth of information condensed and I'll be plenty busy!

We're also probably talking a tank of gas every other day if I go home every night- yikes!
