Snapshots of a Modest Life

Back to School

I've been back in Tallahassee for a few nights after a refreshing Christmas vacation. I said I would let you know how Christmas Conference went, so I guess I'll do that first.

Christmas Conference was cool, a little depressing, very enlightening and a whole lot of fun. You should go.

My first two days of class have been good, that is, as good as being back in school after a three week sabbatical from school can be. My classes are...sufficent. Nothing that is really grabbing my attention other than Advanced Stagecraft, but I already knew that would be a blast. I'm looking forward to becoming one with the table saw, or perhaps I should say distinctly two with the table saw since people and any kind of saw don't usually mix very well. An old friend from high school is in the same class, so that should be fun hanging out with her again, although I get the distinct impression that she has moved on. It will be fun when I wear the t-shirts she designed to class. A couple other classes appear to be difficult and full of working, something which had hoped to escape this semester. Still others have no work at all, except for finding some way to make everyone sweat in Aerobic Conditioning.

Well, it's late, and I have work to do. Can you believe that it's 2005 already? This afternoon I was writing an e-mail and put 2001 on it. What was I thinking? Maybe my subconscious is still stuck in high school. I hope not, I thought I moved past that era in maturity long ago...like last year ago.
