Back To School

So it's about time I wrote about our back-to-school experience, since we've been in school for a week already. Our schedules are very full, but that's the way life should be - full! As long as you fill it with good things (and some down time).

Pai goes to school pretty much all morning every day, then he comes home to sleep, then he goes to work at night.

Baby Vince comes to school with the mama (sometimes) but we're still trying to figure out someone to watch him during my Analysis class. Dr. Lawlor would let him come, but I hate taking advantage of my nice teachers ... not to mention Vince is a little distracting these days since he likes to talk and screech and hasn't learned the meaning of "quiet".

After school, Vince and I come home and just chill for the rest of the day. Sometimes we have Chrystal's boys over to play, and sometimes we just hang out by ourselves. We try to make it to our ward playgroup, since staying in the house all day every day is not good for your sanity.

So that's our life right now - work, school, family (definitely not in that order!) and will be for this semester and the next. Then Russ graduates!! Hooray for graduations.

School has been great for me. I have been to every one of my classes (I hate missing class) and I understand most of the material. Partial Differential Equations was a little rough starting out, but I think I just had to get my mind into the mode of modeling. Modeling is kind of tricky if you aren't paying close attention to detail, but once I remember that I was once very good at modeling, it came to be like hitting a brick wall - and then I got to explain it to other people, which makes me VERY happy!

Now it is the weekend, after a long week at school (especially since last weekend was a drill weekend for the Pai and he was gone pretty much all weekend!). Today we woke up kind of early, cleaned the house, went shopping, and now Pai is selling his plasma (that's how he gets his spending money). When he gets home he'll probably take a nap for a while, then we'll hang out and probably go out to see a movie tonight.

Gotta love these boys!
