Hopefully, not the only geek in the room

Last night I made it through my first Literature class without completely revealing that I've read all twelve of the required books these past few weeks.  At least, I hope no one could tell that I was just itching to talk about all of these books!

Luckily, I know that the guy to my left is taking the class for graduate studies credit, and he could clearly be just as big a geek as I am about adolescent literature ;)

It is interesting going sideways/halfway backwards in my studies.  I have earned 33 credits in a master's program that I did not want to finish, and at a pretty competitive school.  Now, I am enrolled in undergrad courses at State U and it is like a flash back!  Grad schoolers wear business casual or at the very least, nice jeans and cute tops.  Undergrads wear whatever smells the least dank.   I remember crawling out of bed as an undergrad, throwing on a bra, shoes, and a coat and just heading off to class "as is."   Since I am taking evening classes, I think there is a good mix of non-traditional and traditional students.  Yet.  I was the only one that I could see who was wearing slacks, a button down, and short sleeved sweater.  And high heels.

I was so overdressed!  At least I made the wise choice and did not accessorize with pearls ;)

I do have my absolutely FAVE accessory for this year - it is a purse meets briefcase tote from Franklin Covey.  I LOOOOOVE this bag!  It has a pocket for my sunglasses!!!

So far, I have fit my wallet, my planner, a little makeup case, my pencil case, a full size notebook, a half-inch full size binder, and a textbook in it!!!  I will be watching for strain on the straps - but it seems well enough constructed to take this abuse!  and they really should test bags that are this big by filling them with books.  Since that is all a big bag means to me - more room for books!

I'm all packed and ready for class #2 tonight, it would be fabulous if some of the kids from last night are in the class with me!  Friends!
