Back to school!

Well, today was my first day back to school as a full time student again!  I got up sooooo early to get to school this morning (I’ve been so lazy this summer that I forgot what it feels like to be up and at em so early).

I started the day off with a filling breakfast.  This always keeps me full for a good 5 hrs.

Strawberry Chobani with chia seeds, flax seeds, 2 T granola and some strawberries.

Then it was off to school.  The commute already sucks, and it’s just the first day of school.  The drive is somewhere around 1 hr to 1hr 10 mins.  But with a coffee stop and the parking nightmare that this school is I was glad I gave myself 2 hrs to get there because I ended up walking in just as class was starting.  Yeesh!  It took me a good 20 minutes to find a parking spot for crying out loud!

Anyway, I had statistics and chemistry today.  In statistics, he pretty much just read the syllabus to us and then let us go.  But in chemistry she was raring to go and she flew through the first TWO chapters today!  I’m surprised there wasn’t a fire started from the pencils and pens scribbling on paper as we frantically tried to write down all the information she was plowing through.  I also found out that I bought the wrong book.  Oops!

After that I was done.  A two hour trip for that. 

Next I headed to Panera to have a salad and to use their wi-fi.  I left my camera at home this morning so I don’t have any pictures, but I got the asian chicken salad and it was so pretty.  It was a shame I forgot my camera!  I also updated my microsoft word (upgraded to 2007), checked on the status of the rest of my textbooks in transit, and bought a cool memory card for my camera that will upload my pictures right to my computer through my wireless internet.  Pretty sweet, huh?

Then there was a quick Target run for a new calculator and then on to the house!

Once I got home I was a good student and did a little reading for chemistry, then started a new fun book.  The next in the sookie stackhouse series.  Oh what fun!

Then DINNER!!

I tried a recipe out of my new Hatch Chile cookbook.  It was called August Pasta- what a fitting dish for the last night of August, right?!

It was basically a sauce of pureed hatch chiles with a little garlic, some bell pepper and some half and half(not much, just enough for a little creamy-ness).  Topped with a little grated parm cheese!

Served with a slice of toasted

sourdough- delish!

Now I’ve got some cleaning up to do and I’m hitting the hay super early because I have a 4:30 am wakeup call tomorrow- eek!

Night!!
