First Day of School
I am too wiped out to blog properly tonight. After a morning matinee, my first class, a rehearsal and a creative meeting, I can't see straight - but in the best sort of fashion. My brain aches 'cause I am using bits that have been dormant for far too long.
Being a student again after 14 years is a very strange experience. I feel ancient compared to these young sullen nubiles clacking away on their lap tops and cell phones at every available opportunity.
"Why, back in my day Sonny Jim, we didn't even have internet access in college," creak, moan go my old lady bones.
I am already behind in class and have a lot of catching up to do in Flash and Dreamweaver. But it is exciting to think of all the cool things I am going to learn and already a zillion ideas are presenting themselves. But how do I DO them?? The trick, I think, will be having the patience to not get frustrated when I get stuck. After all, I have mastered software before and just think of the fun I will have if I get this.
The funniest thing about my first class? If you are caught writing a text, you get kicked out of class. Caught a second time and you are expelled for good! EEEK! They mean business! Also grounds for expulsion, IMing and personal email clicking during class. What a weird new world we live in, eh Rufus?

ok, can't watch the youtube vid till i get home and actually have sound on my computer (and oh right, that rule that we're not supposed to download at work). thank god we don't have school rules at work about texting and IMing. i would have been expelled, i mean fired, a long time ago.
have a good day, schoolie.
hee hee, i think we both would have been! ;) my v cute (and married, damn it!) teacher asked me while doing roll call what it meant that i was auditing the class.
i said, "well, you take the course and do all the work but you don't get any credit for it."
he was like, "sounds like life, eh?"
what a dreamboat! haw haw! i am gonna be a Flash DEMON!!!!
PS have a good day in the Offasty Miss Suz! I miss you already!
congrats on going back to school- where/what are you studying? The teacher didnt know what auditing meant? thats weird...
thanks, it is pretty cool but also scary a little bit. taking computer software classes at Champlain. just want to get as many mad skills as possible so i can freelance and work as little as possible and make killer websites (for myself and others!!!). might as well make the fact that i spend all day at the computer a good thing!
how 'bout you...? any plans to leave ye old ball-n-chain anytime soon?
Congrats! yay! "Back to school, back to school, to prove to dad that I'm no fool..." Happy Gilmore sounds a lot like life too, when you put it that way.
I LOVE that video, too. That's the best Beatles cover I've ever heard. Inspired by Bloom? Bummed I'm missing that. Ugh.
yes yes! love being a student again! me and adam sandler, what a coupla ol' farts! ;)
wish you coulda been here for Bloom. it was truly awesome. the dancers were like moving works of arts, their bodies all sculpted and perfect like greek gods. zowie!!
have a good trip and holler when you get back!
hey when you have all sorts of killer skills I think I may want a really cool retro website for my something so clever blog. :) or maybe at least a banner! lol
love rufus. hate dakota fanning. and i agree, the teacher didn't know what auditing meant? that's weird.
hmmm...perhaps cute teacher was just teasing me in front of the class...? have him again in my second class tomorrow. perhaps i will write "love you" on my eyelids a la Indiana Jones?! ;)
that dakota fanning gives me the creeps, me thinks she knows something i don't know. perhaps she is a space alien.
Ali, I am all over that! maybe i could do some Flash animation of your wonderful kitchen creations doing a dance?! your blog is so pretty. i have blog envy AND kitchen envy!
I LOVE Dakota Fanning! remember that one movie when Sean Penn was playing a 'tard? priceless...
True, YBAW, that was an awesome film. any movie where i get to see Sean Penn drooling like an idiot is ok in my book!
Dakota Fanning is a space alien, i saw her five eyes for myself while filming this movie with her (which is awesome and which i deserved an oscar for you idiots). never turn yur back on her as she may devour you whole with her razor sharp teeth...chomp, chomp...
