A new school year begins.

In one hour I will take my six-foot tall thirteen year-old to register for eighth grade. This is his last year of middle school. This time next year, I will be taking him to register for high school. I remember when he was a tiny baby and pooped on me. Where does the time go?

On a side note, my fall semester starts next Tuesday. I'm taking twelve credits, which is technically full-time. I've got Intro to Literature, Abnormal Psychology, Intro to Mythology, and Environmental Issues. I'll also still be working thirty hours per week. If I vanish a bit, you'll know why.

Boo for vanishing, but at least it's for a good cause.

Eighth grade? Whoa nelly. He's right in those fun turbulent years now...

Yay abnormal psych!

Commiseration for the last year of middle school. We did the same for mine last week. Sigh.

I just hope I don't have the same psych teacher I had last year. That guy sucked :P

They grow up so quickly! I had no problems/weirdness with other years, but this whole teen thing is tough to get used to!

My boy-kidlet started first grade Tuesday...that was weird enough. Eep.

You are far braver than I; the first time I tried that kind of class/work load I failed miserably. That was nine years ago, though, and I'll have to face it again eventually.

Yeah, school is odd enough. The older they get, the weirder it is. Especially parent/teacher conferences. Those are the weirdest.

I started off last fall with 2 classes, three in the spring and now I'm trying 4. We'll see how that goes and that will largely determine what I do as the semesters progress. If I can handle it, great, if not, I'll step back a bit.
