Class is in session!

Current mood: Whee! And I'm not even in a Mini!

It begins again, and I'm wicked excited. I don't remember bring this excited for the first day of school back as a kid - I was a nerd, but not that big a nerd, and in those days, kids were actually allowed to roam free and have fun during the summers. However, now that I'm going to school purely for edification and entertainment purposes (interspersed with much cursing and why am I doing this? Homework s*cks!!!), I find I look forward eagerly to the start of each class. Of course, the start is where I can still imagine the best of teachers, the most stimulating of discussions, and the fiercest and funnest classmates, before I'm brought back to cold, hard, and often disappointing reality.

Anyway...I disregarded two other classes that I was supremely interested in taking in favor of Public Health: History, Policies, and Politics, which, in my "can't do an MPH in the Virginia system so dang it, I'll cobble together my own-" mentality and its topical focus on environmental health, made a perfect fit. Can't wait to see what unfolds.

And, as an added bonus, I'm down in Old Town once a week, and I never get to eat there! Eamonn's fish and chips (and curry sauce!!!) are looking like a very dangerous hitch in the get-in-better-shape-in-time-for-the-reunion plan!!!!
