I'm just in awe of all of the great things I've been exposed to so far at this campus. I just volunteered this weekend with my younger child at the local Children's Day, a city-wide event that actually started out as a Cal Poly Senior Project -- and since this is the 30th annual Children's Day, it's obviously a success!!! Although it was warm, I was able to expose my child to the idea of volunteer work and get to know some of my classmates as well. I even got to chat up one of the girls in one of my classes who is also a parent herself and we got to exchange the challenges of being both a student and a parent and the pull one feels from both of those roles on a daily basis.
All in all, a great weekend!!! Also, just a reminder to self: Just because I think I want to be at home and in bed doesn't mean I would enjoy myself more at home and in bed. After I actually got to the event, I was so happy I went! Not to mention the free t-shirt...
Glad you had a great weekend! Mine was, well, eh. Taking care of an invalid husband, 'nuff said.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I CAN'T WAIT to see the panda movie. I giggle every time the commercial comes on t.v. Maybe we can take the kids to go see it together when I'm out? My treat!
