A list of firsts

Within the last 7 days, exactly, many firsts have happened in my life. They are as follows:

• First day of Graduate School
• Wearing stilettos to class
• Creating a grad level presentation
• Creating a presentation which may or may not ever be presented
• Sitting in class in a comfortable chair
• Sitting in class where the 'desk' isn't attached to my chair
• Having plenty of room to spread out my notes during class
• Having a professor wear a suit to class, each class, not just the first day
• Forgetting my name plate for class - which is conveniently sitting in front of me in my apartment, now
• Having something to add to class, and actually saying it (trust me it doesn't happen hardly ever)
• Sitting in class for four hours
• Being warm in Gerlach Hall

I'm sure there are many more, but these are just a few that come to mind.

I keep hearing the reoccurring theme to keep ahead of things. And, as I sit here at 10:30 at night, having just gotten home from class, I realize how true it is. For now, I'm off to read 50 pages about the origins and evolutions of the field of industrial relations.
