Tradition at our house is a "first day of school" picture--this is last year's that Corey insisted on taking. Classes started at Boise State again this week. After just four days, I find myself wondering if I have bit off more than I can chew! Why is it that every professor acts as if THEIR class is your ONLY class and piles on the assignments accordingly?
My day begins at 7:40 with an aerobics class (which, by the way, would be a great place for young men to meet women as the ratio is 2:40). Is it possible to flunk a fitness assessment? If so, I pretty much did just that! But there is a bright side to everything, right? From the bottom, the only direction to go is up--I will do better because I couldn't have done much worse. How pathetic I am! Here Brandis is training for a marathon and runs for literally miles and hours at a time but I can't complete a single pushup correctly, my knees give out after 10 rounds on the "beep" test, (the class star completed 141 rounds if that tells you anything!). But, as I said, I can only go up from here.

I do have other classes besides aerobics. Intermediate Algebra, English Literature, civil war to present, History, civil war to present, Biology and a to go with it, and two one-credit Healthstudies workshops that will be held three Saturdays each, one being stress management, the other positive thinking and happiness. It will be an interesting semester.
If there are any of you toying with the idea of returning to college, I highly recommend it. It is a bit intimidating at times (can I really remember any of what I am reading? can you really teach an old dog new tricks?) but it is great to be making the old brain work hard again and to be doing something for myself that I have always wanted to do. If you are thinking about going back, I say go for it!
