School is going. Not good or bad, just a lot of work. I enjoy the drive to Athens as it equates some alone time that I desperately need after being at work and Mike being at home for an unmentionable amount of months now. I know he is thankful when we leave each morning too!
The thing is, in Athens, I am very old. I have never been made to feel unworthy of my college education or less of a student because of my age until going down there. I have one professor who makes it a practice of saying things like "when you grow up", "when you have a real job", "none of you have kids, do you...". Although I know he does not know any better, it just rubs me the wrong way. I will be thirty years old when I graduate. So what, who cares, at least I went back. To many people say they want to, but then never do. I am proud that I have stuck with it.
In other news I am pretty sure that I am going to run for city council for our ward. If I decide to, this blog will become by invite only. I consider this my journal, and I am flattered that many of you take the time to read. You can email at g a r b r a n d t at columbus. rr. com (without those spaces) I will send you an invite when and if the time comes.
I want to run because A. I am tired of our current ward leadership. He has been in for a while and you never hear much from him. When Mike and I contacted him last spring it was his wife who called us back, and another councilman, a friend, who ending up helping us out. And B. because to quote our almost president, it is time for change. Lanc. is very old boys club, I think a little youth may help!
We have been home for five days now. Thursday, I had class, Friday I was sick, Saturday Mike's parents came down and we went to a birthday party, yesterday we went sledding, and today we went to see Hotel for Dogs, but it was sold out so we saw Bedtime Stories. It has been fun, but I am ready to get back to the grind. Only eight more weeks left of winter quarter!
