I lied yesterday when I said both my kids were in college when I began attending community college. Mouse was still in high school. But then I started thinking what the heck year *was* that anyway? I finally looked through my blahg’s pre-Wordpress archives to find the answer. Mouse was starting her senior year at Community High. It was 2004.

Lizard headed off to junior year (college) study abroad in Spain that year. She had plenty of advice about college for her old taaaaared mom before she left and I found this in my old pre-wordpress blahg archives:

• Moom, where is your syllabus?
• Is this all? Ed’s syllabuses are like a book!
• Where is your homework assignment?
• Your homework assignments are getting all curled up!
• You need some folders! How many classes do you have?
• Here are some Kalamazoo College folders.
• I have just enough for your classes.
• Put the syllabus in the left pocket.
• Put the homework assignments in the right.
• Print out that one syllabus that’s on the internet and put it in there.
• You may lose the internet some time and you’ll be out of luck!
• Is this your notebook?
• You need a notebook for each class.
• You are so unorganized.
• Look at that pile of papers over there.
• You need to organize yourself.
• You better do your homework now.
• You do *not* know how to be a student.

Uuuuuuuuhhhhh. We were in the ooooooolllld Landfill Chitchen. I did some of my schoolwork there but I eventually migrated over to the Green Couch (so I could watch all the dogz go by) (and give them “the eye”…)

I may not have known how to be a student but somehow or other I earned a consistent 4.0 average throughout the whole adventure.

I did use the K College folders for a while 💜
