Sister Time Confirmed!!

I almost wasn't able to take the course with my sister.  I didn't know that you had to apply to to the school in order to take it.  I didn't find that out of course until the time I was supposed to register.  Some frantic phone calls later and I learned I was quite possibly screwed.  As you already know, I had bought my books already.

I spend the weekend trying to decide what to do.  I was sad and so very disappointed with I wouldn't be able to take the class.  I did however, cook up a plan.

Monday afternoon I emailed the professor from my work email.  I explained my sob story and at the end asked if there was any way I could just go and sit in on the course.  Being that it was the first day of school I didn't expect a reply until at least 24 hours later.

I checked my email later that evening.  And I had an email.  From the professor.  SAYING I COULD SIT IN ON THE CLASS!!!!

I was so excited that I started yelling.  At 10:30 at night.  In my apartment.  With others sleeping upstairs... I think.

I am so excited, obviously.

The first class is tomorrow night. 

Now I just have to figure out what I am going to do about dinner... I can't wait until 10 pm to eat...

Happy day!

Peek Into My Life: No Longer too Cool for School

As an employee of UCF I am lucky enough to have the ability to take a class to two for free each semester.  I have not taken them up on this offer until now.

This is my sisters last year at UCF and I am devastated.  I have loved having her here and wish UCF would have had a program for what she wants to major in.

With her leaving soon, she got an idea in her head that we should take a class together.  Now, I have not taken classes since I graduated in 2009.  That is a long time.  I am not sure how I will deal with having another thing listed on my daily checklists.

But I am going to do it.  Especially since it means that I will have a guaranteed 3 hours with her each week.  I mean she is even picking me up from work and driving me to class!!

We went and bought our books this past week.  It was weird being in the bookstore again.  And apparently they are letting you rent books now.  I am not exactly sure how I feel about that.

I even treated myself to a new composition book to take notes in.  Staci thinks it is crazy that I want to take hand-written notes because she does everything on the computer.  I will just have her send me the notes.  :)

I have about two weeks till classes start and I am getting excited.

It may cause me to want to continue taking classes to explore if I really do like accounting...

Hope everyone's second day of school is going great (or teacher planning days)!
