It wouldn't be, without...

The first day of school!

I'll admit I was excited for it. I love school because I love learning. Sometimes I lose sight of that portion when I have racked my brain for every possible idea I think is in there (aka a designer's block). However, I usually find my way out of such predicaments and make it through to the end of the project. Not to mention today was the first day of my last year of school for life (unless I decide to go back but that isn't in the cards right now)! Sweet sweet bittersweet day. Of course what would the first day of school be without an awkward moment and some good news.

Good news. The Trax system has been improved. I can ride all the way from the station I get on to the station I get off at school. No switching trains in slightly scary part of downtown Utah. I guess it wasn't so bad during the day it was the waiting there for the sandy train to come after my class got out around 9 PM that I had the problem with. BUT it is a problem no longer. Now the trip from home to school, via trax, almost takes the same amount of time as it took me to drive there, find a parking spot and walk to class. Yay for the person that decided to make this change.

Awkward moment. After skipping from the train to the library, where my class is (okay okay I didn't really skip but just pretend I did). I walked up to the classroom with the correct number and went right in.... looked up realized I knew no one in the class including the teacher. Ooops! Apparently there is a class in that room before mine. They all looked at me like, "How dare you disturb our little circle of chairs!" I could imagine the teacher having a voice like the cave in Aladdin, "Who dare to disturb my slumber!" Yea. backed out almost as quickly as I had entered and found a fellow design student and friend.

Class. Excited to have a teacher that I haven't had except for one day when she subbed for my teacher last semester. She handed us a sheet of paper talking about our first assignment and the wave of being overwhelmed hit, as it usually does. Once she started explaining it in more detail then I got excited in addition to the overwhelmed feeling. I definitely forgot about that feeling over the summer. BUT here we go onto a new semester! C=
