I've Been Busy....

Okay, since I'm starting to get mean comments left on my blog (thanks Jill!) from not updating, I guess I better do it. Life has been crazy lately and it seems like I just don't have many spare minutes to do much else. OKay so here's what's been going on with the Koelle's...

Neil started school last Tuesday. It has been almost 3 years since doing anything schoolie, and even longer doing anything that involves math. His first day, well lets just say it could have gone better for him, but the memory will last a lifetime....

He has absolutely no idea what he is doing in any of his classes. But the best part is what happened later at his 6 o'clock class. He was heading to class and went on in, right on time, well he sat there for a few minutes just listening and thinking this doesn't seem right, another few minutes goes by and he realizes he's in the wrong classroom! So he gets up and leaves to go find the right room. He finds it and asks some guy standing outside if it was his MET 160 class. The guy consults a paper and says there is no listing for that class at all at the ASU East campus. So NEil is freaking out a bit by now. He heads over to the student union and finds someone to look his class up. Yep it's there. The girl behind the desk graciously offers to walk him over. They get there, and it's the classroom he just left. The man was a moron and didn't know! So the girl walks Neil in and says to the teacher... " You have a new student, he was lost." Neil obviously didn't find this very humorous at the moment, but I thought it was hilarious when he told me later! Also in a class they played a getting to know you game, the kind where there's a bunch of boxes filled in with a description and you have to get people to sign their names in the boxes that describe them. One box says, I am married. No one is filling in this particular box, so Neil says everyone bring me their paper and I'll fill in that one. So he's the only married person in there and then someone says, "No way, you're married?" He says yeah, I have kids too! " What, how old are you?" Neil says, lets just say I've already had my 10 year reunion. KID says, " What! You look like you're 22 maybe 23!" So NEil is also the old guy in every class too! In math he had to get a TI graphing calculater, and he couldn't work it, so he turns to the guy next to him and says, "Hey, do you know how to turn this thing on?" Of course the 18 year old boy does and gives him a weird look, probably thinking to himself, "dude, the special ed department is down the hall!" Poor guy, but you have to admitt, it's pretty dang funny!
