I almost forgot what it is like during the first week of new semester at school. Well here at Contra Costa College it was no different... students scrambling to add classes (students haven't quite gotten the whole telephone registration down) - but they can IM like it's no tomorrow--ooops sorry.. parking lots are full of people not paying attention to designated areas--- they should have one for "pregnannt wobbling staff"--- and something new this semester,,, budget costs and tuition fee increases!
Can you believe it... the cost to attend a community college will be going up to $24 a unit from $11!! Contra Costa College is already the mecca for the low-incme families of the area. Now, it will be even harder for students to educate themselves full-time, if they can even afford it! Well ,with that all said, teachers and faculty are encouraging students to apply for scholarships and other sources of financial aid... so that's where my busy day comes into play! I actually this one scholarship announcement out since last October...original deadline was December 15... only 5 people applied (3 were ineligible)! So, we extend the deadline for January 15th and make another announcement to all faculty...I have talked and helped over 30 applicants each day for the last 3 days! My head is spinning... I am not used to being so busy in the office!
I think GIMB has taken note of all the walking and working hard over this last week. Throughout the day, and especially on our ride home, he is kicking and moving more and more. And if I am not mistaken, this is when the baby is supposed to be running out of room and moving less... Oh no... not this Laxa!! If I wait long enough watching my stomach, I can actually see my stomach punch out or move like waves!!! it's my rendition of Aliens or Species!! I'm getting more and more excited and scared trying to figure out how I will be able to still look cute and having 2 infants hanging off each arm... I guess you can just picture a scene from animal planet of mama ape with her babies just "hanging on" as they move about!
Well, as for my CUD... he enjoyed watching the Warrior Game in the box suites daddy hooked us up with. Got tired by the end, and was out the whole ride home! Now, as he sees a basketball game on TV, he cheers like he was actually there! Then, last night his new thing was this: he climbed onto the couch (all by himself) and settled himself in one corner. Rested one arm on the ledge and just sat there chillin'... I felt like I should have offered him the remote and a can of beer or something! But there he was chilling w/ his mommy watching the recording of "Days of Our Lives"!!!
This sunday, I hope to make it out to the Pleasanton area to go by Babies R Us and find some cool stuff to put on a baby registry!!! I need to look for the tandum (sp?) duo-stroller for my boys!!! I want to be able to fix Cud's bed with proper blankets and pillows, cuz he is taking too much room in our bed! He even managed to pushed Brahma off to the side and take up 1/2 the bed himself!
Well, back to work.. lunch hour is over... it just took a long time for me to wobble to the cafeteria and back!!!
