How can school be so much fun?

I am having a blast and a half when it comes to school. I always wondered why there were "professional" students, but now I know. What's the rush in graduating? Why not take EVERY P.E. class? Hey, that English course looks interesting...

I'm only in my 3rd week of school, and I'm already getting impatient for the spring semester. I want to up the credits I'm taking because it's just so much fun. I might throw in an extra math course or take art history, anthropology, geography or somthing like that.

Ice skating is going great. Today, we learned how to spin on the ice. I promptly fell, and fell very hard. That was the second time that day, but it doesn't hurt any worse than a nasty fall while skiing, and I have the added plus of not sliding a hundred feet downhill before coming to a stop at the foot of a tree, and if I do injure myself, I don't have to wait for ski patrol to rescue me.

It only took three tries to lace my boot correctly. That's down from about 12 on the first day. Did I forget to mention that the very first lesson was, "How to lace up your boot"? We spent at least 20 minutes lacing, walking, unlacing and lacing up again, walking, unlacing, lacing up again, skating, unlacing, etc... So, I consider it a remarkable achievement that I only had to lace up 3 times before getting it right.

Looks like Jonathan got the job at the pizza place. They called today and asked if he still wanted the job. So, he get to deliver pizzas now. And, I've got a job interview tomorrow. Guess where? At the ice rink. I'm praying all the way there and back. It means free ice skating for me if I get the job, and a little extra money to help make ends meet.

We wore pants, longsleeve shirts and jackets today. It was cold. It was 82. I know it is hard to believe that anyone could consider 82 as longsleeve weather. I would never have believed it, but here I am, making sure my kids button up so that they don't catch colds. Of course, this type of weather ensures that we stay active, and I'll take that anytime.
