I did a thing...

 

I kind of signed up for classes and returned to school... after a 30 year hiatus... 

It's... a LONG story... That I don't really want to get into at this exact moment. 

I will say... it feels a little weird... and ridiculous... and indulgent... but here I am. 

As it turns out when you make a rather last minute decision to return to school starting in the second term... it's pretty slim pickings for available classes. I would have like to take a drawing and or painting class. But it seems that will have to wait for spring/summer session or next fall... IF I continue with this. 

For now I am taking a sculpture class, which seems like it might be pretty interesting. 

and a Drama class - Technical Theatre - Scenic construction, Scenic Painting, and Entertainment Rigging. It seems like I will also be really interesting! 

As an added bonus, I've been really enjoying the walks to campus. it's about 4.5Km from our house and takes 40minutes to an hour, depending on whether I'm in a rush to get there or just enjoying the scenery on the way home. 

There's been some fog coming off the river this week, leaving all the trees through the river valley covered with hoar frost. 

just to lean into the ridiculousness of it all, I thought it would be funny to take one of thoseOBLIGATORY BACK TO SCHOOL PICTURES standing on the front steps of our house on my first day back... But Amanda was already at work and the kids were still asleep as they didn't have classes that day... so all you get is this selfie...
