Today proved that despite whatever aspirations I may have, the rest of the world continues to go on despite the extra things I have to do.
The dishwasher went on the fritz, followed by the ice maker in the fridge. Thus, while I'm hoping to pack there's a repairman with the kitchen in complete chaos.
Along with this, we've decided that we don't need a dining room but we do need another home office. We've shared a home office in the past, but really need more space, especially a table so that I can spread out projects undisturbed if I need to. This means computer cabling, electricity (since the wiring won't handle another electrical appliance without more circuits). As a result, we've had contractors in, all the dining room furniture is stacked into the living room and hallway and the dust from holes being cut in the walls is wafting up to settle on most everything.
This is while clothes are spread all over the beds in two rooms so that I can figure out what constitutes the "bare essentials" to exist in a hotel for ten days and have some vision of maybe taking a nap this afternoon, since I've been up since before 5:00 a.m.
At 9:00 this morning some of my classmates and I had a conference call to talk about what's happening. Overall, there's a lot of excitement and some anxiousness on the part of everyone.
The program starts with 10 days in Denver (Aurora), Colorado, where we will finish two classes (6 credit hours). No breaks, we go straight through. After that, most of the work is done online with only a couple of weeks breaks between classes.
This is the schedule for the next two and a half years or so.
Most of us started the reading last month. I've discovered one of the books available in audio format, so have been listening to it as well as reading it.
I'm surprised at how excited I am to start school again. Although I'm a bit apprehensive, I'm looking forward to it.
