Starting the Semester-August 20, 2011

I started off the new semester today with a slight bump in the road. I had been checking my e-mail and blackboard and hadn't seen anything new so I thought my first chemistry lab was today. Turns out it wasnt, but another student also showed up just to be sure we didnt have lab and she gave me some good info. So a plus was getting to meet a fellow  student. I also had trouble logging into the school's wi-fi, not sure why, but its good I have my own wi-fi access. It turns out I only have to go to lab 5 times this semester, but the rest of the chemistry schedule looks pretty full. I did get started on my reading and also my intros and replies to fellow students in the class. I learned last semester that this is a great way to get to know people that you only interact with via the computer. One of my fellow students is also a first time online student and it felt good to be able to give her some encouragement in the process.
An update to my unexpected guests: Turns out the wren that built the nest in my plant not only built a nest but built a family as well. I think there are 2 babies in the nest and it is pretty cool to watch the parents bring in bugs and stuff for the little ones. Yesterday my husband had the front door open and one of the wrens flew in the house!! It stayed a couple of hours, until he lured it outside with some bread crumbs. I was at work and missed it, but he called me to tell me about it, so I was able to share the story with everyone at work. I just wish he had gotten a picture of it!
Looks like a storm headed this way, so I am going to get off the computer for now. I had to go out and buy a new mouse today, and I would hate for lightining to fry my computer and have to go out tomorrow and buy a new one of those. LOL!
