School and Car Drama

Well this past week has been very fun. I have enjoyed all of my classes and am enjoying all of the classes that are in my schedule just for me. I love my water aerobics class, my World dance class is amazing and fun because everyone is learning and when we mess up you laugh and keep moving. My world religions class is absolutely facinating. I am learning so much about worship and finding christ in all religions. My nursing classes are my leas favorite classes of them all, which is sad seeing as this is my last semester in the nursing program.
So life here in Rexburg has been interesting with the whole no parking on the street thing. Where we usually park in the winter was full, so Alesa and the manager of what used to be Pine View(its now called the cedars) arranged to allow us to park over there. So I had been parked there for a few days, and called Alesa and said, hey do we need to pay to park here, do we need to get a thing to stick in the window or something, and she never called me back, and I lost track of time. So I came home today and was talking to my other roomie who also has a car, who said when she went to get in her car to go to work she had been booted. Of course she was quite livid. So she managed to talk the guy down to 20 to take the boot off, and she drove her car out of that lot and parked on the street. SO when Alesa came home we went and talked to her. She called the manager over there and we both went to get stickers to park over there. And I discovered that I too had been booted, so I called, and they headed over and I got the boot off for only 20, but being the vindictive person I can be I decided that I am going to park my car backwards with the tail end in the snowbank so the boot people have to get out of their nice and cozy cars to check on the sticker on the back bumper on my car. Its the small victories. The Manager over there said they are required to get out and check, and if they don't see the sticker then it comes out of their pockets, since they get payed by the boot. So put a boot on a car that is legally there, guess who made a big mistake.
and there is my Car drama.

Back.... again

Well I finished my first week back in school. This could be a lot of fun, and a lot of work. I enjoyed all of my classes that I had so far, though I didn't have the classes that are just on Mon, Tues (which would be my nuring classes). I have Water Aerobics, Clothing construction, World Religions, World dance, and Old Testament. Those are just the ones I went to this week, next week I'll also add in my two Nursing classes, Nursing research, and Nursing leadership.
I'm excited for all my fun classes. I really only need the two nursing classes, Water Aerobics and OT, but to keep my scholarship I have to have 14 credits at least, and I want to take the others.
Besides when do I have the chance to take fun classes and learn all sorts of odd things? For example on thursday in my world dance class we learned the korobushka. It is a russian dance. Translated it means cute little circle dance.
It's been fun being back in School, learing, and meeting new people, and I am looking forward to the fun I'll have next week.
