It's official. School is in session. The Entheos kids (Lindsey, Brandon, Ryan, Kaylie, Rachel and Jessica) started on Wednesday, August 18. And Lindsey will be VP on the student council after all; the VP-elect moved to Colorado. Lindsey says she'd rather have just won the office, but I think she's happy to be working with the other kids on the student council.Jason started 10th grade at Hunter High School on Monday, August 25. He is taking Driver's Ed. this semester—stay off the sidewalks! (Yes, Kim. Even in CA.) Just wait 'til you start driving with one of your kids. I think I'll strongly encourage Bruce to spend some quality-dad-time with Jason, getting his 30 hours of driving in.
Tomorrow Michael is starting at Salt Lake Community College; this semester he's taking two photography classes, raquetball, and "digital media essentials." He would, perhaps, like to major in fine arts.
And I'm starting at SLCC too! Officially I am enrolled in General Education (undecided major), but
really I am taking Fashion Design. This fall I will have a full schedule: Intermediate Sewing , Intro to Fashion, Textiles, and Methods of Pattern Design. I am looking forward to classes in Bridal Design, Millinery (hat-making), Corset-Making, Costuming, Tailoring, and even The Psychology of Clothing. This semester I'm also taking a Healthy Body Image class and Belly Dancing. Fun!I have been working at getting enrolled, getting financial aid, getting the guts to do this, all summer long (this is one of the big plans I alluded to earlier this summer). And now here I am, at age 43, starting in college. Although SLCC has an older enrollment than many colleges, I suspect I will be the old woman on campus. I have visions of taking all my classes with skinny, beautiful, talented, little 20-year-old girls (i.e. The Devil Wears Prada). But I'm enrolled, I've bought my books, and I am doing it! I'll keep you posted. :-)

So excited for you! Although I think you could teach the Inter. Sewing class.
I'll stay off the sidewalks and keep my eyes open!
I am just DREADING teaching the girls to drive. Since it means I'll be over 50 when it happens, I am not exactly counting the days!
How awesome! I love your class line-up. SLCC is a great place and there are plenty of "older" students. I plan to go back when my kids are all in school.
Michael's classes look enjoyable too. I've heard photography is expensive to take because of all the equipment.
Good for you! I want to hear about the stuff you learn and make.Yay!
Go you! I'm so excited for you! I can't believe Michael is already going to college! Wow, time goes by fast!! I'm excited to stay updated on all of your fun!!
