wait, wait, wait. I'll be fine in a minute...

School is back in session and I'm enjoying it so far.  I'm taking Web Technologies I, Web Animation I, and SQL.  I just got settled at home after my second day of school this week.  Today we actually got to work on, well our work.  I finished both of my assignments for this week in lab which was great.  However, I think I'm going to try to take my iPod next week.  Apparently NO ONE around me knows how to operate a computer or read the instructions or look at the photos of the instructions in the book; which while only mildly annoying today will get old really quickly.  I'm not trying to be mean but you are in college, figure it out (or ask the teacher instead of annoying another student constantly).  Needless to say, I've yet to make any friends.

It's been an interesting week.  The bus was late for Alden on Monday, then we both went to school, then we got locked out of the house.  I climbed in through a window and unlocked the door.  I watched a docu-series about Queen Victoria's Children, my friend came by and we had a drink and got caught up because we hadn't seen much of each other over Christmas/New Years.

Yesterday nothing really happened.  But this morning Alden was being awful.  He didn't want to go to school and he fought me from the second he got up until I got him to his bus.  Then an hour later I get a call from the school saying he's STILL being a brat.  They finally got him calmed down after some sensory input, exercises, and talking to him.  Apparently he doesn't like me being in school again, which is weird because I don't remember him caring last year. Anyway he seems perfectly fine now but it was a rough morning for everyone involved.

We started reading The Hobbit and he wants to read MORE every night.  I'm only reading a chapter a night because he gets mad when he falls asleep and I don't know WHERE exactly he fell asleep and I start somewhere else entirely.  So one chapter a night and then I either read something else or just let him be.

I guess that's about it for now.  Nothing terribly exciting. Just getting adjusted to this whole back to school thing.
