First Day of School

Today was my first day of classes. I am pretty excited. I didn't have a lab today, so I'm home early. I rode my bike and it went great. I am a little worried with how much Fern is nursing right now and her lack of desire to take anything out of a cup or bottle...but that's a whole 'nother story. They did great with my mom, and I was able to fly home between classes and nurse Fern and get a snack. The bike ride is so fast! It is so nice to be outside on my bike!!
leaving for first day of school!
I already have homework. Phew. The math is not looking as foreign as I had expected it to, thank God.

Today, Obama is being sworn in. This is an amazing day, and I am so excited for the world. However, I am not getting swept off my feet with an emotion of hope or peace. I am glad that our country elected him, and I am anxious to see how he does in office, but I don't have huge expectations of ridiculous proportions. He is just a man, after all. I think people have the ability to do amazing and great things, and I hope Obama does, but I just see that there are so many big issues needing resolution.
And it is still politics.
Alright, I have got to lay down.
