back to school...

back to school
back to school
to prove to dad that i'm not a fool
i got my lunch packed up
got my boots tied tight
hope i don't get in a fight
back to school
back to school
back to school...

the song from billy madison is playing in my head as i sit here in the computer lab at school (and for the record, i'm not at school to prove to my dad that i'm not a fool! he knows I'm the smartest girl around :) )
here i am, back at school
it was interesting to me this morning, as i sat through my first class that i feel so new but i'm really not
i'm going to graduate approximately 3 years sooner than the people in my classes
but they all knew each other, much like when i was a music major at cmu a few years ago, we went through all of our classes together
it's also interesting to me how, typically, music students fit into the stereotype.. and i had to laugh to myself as they were all laughing over "music jokes" (and i really do mean MUSIC jokes. jokes about certain notes and keys in music..) a lot of the technical stuff goes over my head, and a lot of the stuff that the teacher described as "basic info that you all likely know already" was stuff that i was jotting down frantically. 8 pages of notes later, i sure don't feel like a musical genious! ha ha!

oh well, i am still happy to be here
with my new notebooks
my new (expensive) text books
my mug of hot coffee
and the knowledge in my head that in 8 months i will be graduating!

back to school...
time to get some lunch, then on to my second class. plus, i have to go pick up the books i just reserved at the library for my first presentation! guess i may as well just dive in completely

hope you are all having a good monday morning!
