SCHOOL UPDATE!!

Oh yes, school update time! Job has kept me occupied, so this is a lot of information!

I received an A- in Marathon Math class, so very pleased with myself, I did it without crying or screaming or tequila.

I received word through my email that I was accepted to UWB and that their records showed I had not paid my $100 enrollment fee. Congratulations, you owe us money! So I had to get into orientation, prove that I am not a dirty carrier of Measles (Thank you Minneapolis Public Schools for having those records, lifesavers, thats what you are!) and I am not registered for classes!

I am so very excited and relieved and anxious at the same time. I need to figure out how to keep on taking care of everything around the homestead, the Michael, the Louie (the Senna is my PIC - Partner in Crime - so she will probably just take care of me!) I have already sought advice on the preparing of meals on Sundays and not cooking during the week too much because I am just not sure how much time and dedication I will need for these two classes. If I need the same dedication as Marathon Math class, then I might just prepare a month of dinners on one Sunday! Jeebus, Bobby and Cindy, I hope its not like that class!

I am really excited about the challenge and I am up to it now. I am ready to finished my BA, get on with my life and really launch a great career. Plus, this school is so small, so appropriate for me and my style and I think I am in the right place to pursue this.

Next up, BBQ on Labor Day, Cle Elum Ridge 50K for Mikey in two weeks and yay, Chandler and Allen are running there too. Lots of fun. Chris's mom will be in town next week... I love other people's moms. Then on September 24th, SCHOOL! I havent gotten my Huskies sweatshirt or flag for my desk (must rival Greg) but I am getting there... I have to pace myself! Michael's brother also wants to go to Apple Cup, I might not be ready for that much Husky Pride... Erin might be the person for that job!

Sunburn = Die of Cancer?!

So yeah, I got sunburned at the second White River preview run and it was totally my fault and it was pretty fierce. My forehead is STILL red... my arms, still red. I bought some SPF 30 sunscreen for my face and SPF 50 spray for the real deal coming up in less than a week. Every sunburn brings me closer to having some dermatologist hole punching moles and freckles out of my body for byopsy and I want none of that, I have seen Zach's scar and I prefer myself unscarred.

Every thing is settled for WR50 in less than 10 days! I have confirmed doggy-bear boarding and I have Friday off so that we can get moving at our own leisurely pace the day before the race. I have also forbidden Michael from taking me to school on Thursday night. I am still saying he cant come on Tuesday but he is arguing... I will see how well we are doing with getting to bed on time on the non-school nights before I sneak out of the house and drive myself to school. :)

Our usually school night tradition is that I will go to Business Calculus Marathon on Tues-Thurs (6-9:45pm) and Michael will hit Cougar Mountain to keep himself from getting bored at St. Edwards. Then he can also go to the gym. I dont get out of class early, expect maybe 15 minutes, so Michael and I dont get into bed until probably 10:30 or later. Usually later because I forget to take my iron and cant lay down (what is that about anyway?!) I am very excited about White River, I have new letters to add to my Team-Havrda shirt, including adding my name to the back... I got the letters on discount at Hancock fabric, yay, cheap stuff!
