I was at my house for dinner today because after my last class ended at 3:00 pm, my mom picked me up to take me to work at Kumon (okay, it's not like I said "Mom, come pick me up. Pllllllleeeease?" She volunteered b/c now that me and my bro are gone, she says, she's got a lot more time on her hands...).

I'm telling ya...once I walked in through that door and smelled my mom's food cooking and saw everything that is familiar to me, and once I remembered that I was once again standing in my favorite place to be (home)...I didn't want to ever leave again. Ever.

But you know, that's not to say that it isn't nice sometimes to not have my parents around all the time...it's kind of great (and kind of big, now that I see it for myself and how much work goes into maintaining a place and a person) to take care of myself a bit more than I'm used to, and it's not really that bad, mostly...

Today I had 2 different English classes and Economics (yay opportunity cost!). In Effective Writing class we had to write an informal, in-class essay as a writing assessment so that the prof. could see "who should be in [the] class and who should not"...which I loosely translated later (when I was telling my mom about it) to: "to weed out the losers who aren't good enough *evil laughter*..." But no. Forget that. I'm just strange, and I know it. :) The prof. seems pretty nice so far. Which is good, because she's teaching both of my English classes...

The English classes are pretty small. About 35 students each. The Economics class was huge. Filled an auditorium that had a main seating area and 2 balconies. We actually took a note in our first class, which surprised me (again...yay opportunity cost!).

Anyway. My first class tomorrow is at 12:00 pm so it shouldn't be too terrible. Just 2 hours of Calculus and then 3 hours of Intro to Commerce...sounds like a blast...if anything interesting happens I'll let you know. :)
