Something Funny

Well, I am officially a student- again. So thankful that after attending class on the waitlist for 2 weeks, I finally got my slip signed and my name added to the roster. It has been an adjustment to learn how to prioritize my time, and how to study/retain information again. One month down and I feel like we are settling into it & beginning to get into a routine. I'm excited, I'm enjoying what I'm learning, and am encouraged that we are pursuing the right road. But there are moments that I look at the parking permit stuck to the windshield of my minivan and wonder "what am I thinking?" And then something happened on Wednesday that was just too funny.... As a class, we are starting to settle into our regular, 'unassigned' seats, and after sitting in the same spot, next to the same people for a few weeks now, the girl next to me finally asked "Were you a long term substitute teacher?" Through our conversation we came to the realization that I had indeed been her 4th grade substitute teacher from February to the end of the school year! How crazy and strange to now be students together! Obviously, she looks much different than she did 11 years ago, so I didn't recognize her until she said her name, but then it all connected and I was once again reminded that my town is a very small place and God has quite the sense of humor!
