YAY!! School started...

OK.. So I'm thinking.. somewhere along the line.. I got into school at a backward pace.. I am SO loving it now.. I guess part of it is that I am the one now paying for it.. and let me say.. Textbooks for college are a racket.. plain and simple.. but that is a part of the deal I got when I signed up.. Right now I am still looking forward to classes.. knowing that I am on the downhill slide to my degree in another 2 years.. if the scheduling gods happen to be on MY game plan..lol.. I am excited.. this is how one of the cats who shares my house sees it.. forget about the date on the pic.. this is just his favorite hangout..doesn't matter to him if I am in the chair or not..


It is interestng though.. I went to the little "fair" they had for students this morning between classes.. and I stopped by a booth for a new bank.. I have been shopping for one for a couple months since my last one decided that they WERE GOD.. and that customer service has NO place in their business anymore..
So anyway.. here I am looking at brochures and asking questions.. and the lady, with I suppose all due respect looked at me kinda sideways and said, "Are you a student here?" Not that I was all THAT much out of place.. But maybe seeing the assorted grey hairs.. very well deserved I might add.. and the slight groan as I pulled up my now seemingly too heavy for anyone to lift backpack..One could wonder if maybe I had just wandered in off the streets to attend this glorious lil get together , complete with dunking machine.. lordy.. what we Texans do for fun..lol..
So now I get the "college package" for my new bank account.. funny.. I'm edging closer to 50 than 40.. and I get the perks of a college kid.. and on occasion.. much to my Goddaughter's delight.. and my chagrin..the senior citizen discount at Golden Corral..
I tell ya.. life IS good!!!!
