Going to grad school has been an eye-opening experience thus far. And I’ve only had two classes, both of which focused on the syllabus and getting-to-know-you exercises.

He went feral over the summer.
read more...Or more specifically, can an old b*tch learn to be a better student this time around?
OK, this is me, officially announcing to the world that I’m going back to grad school. I have been telling a few friends here and there and yes, I did announce it on Facebook, but writing about it here makes it real.

Last week was a stellar one in the Beem house. We had an ice dam on the roof, an absentee husband jetting around North America on business, two upstairs toilets that managed to overflow at exactly the same moment and 10 minutes before the youngest had to be at school, and the much-coveted call from an assistant principal informing the parent that her oldest would be chilling at home for the next three school days – not counting the federal holiday in the middle of it.

No school Wednesday, he said.

Forget walking to school. How about riding the school bus?
