Kim's first day of school

I started my class today, American Politics in Mass Media, ugh! It is going to be a class that requires a lot of work and in a subject area that I really don't have a strong knowledge base to pull information. Oh well, I will make my way through it. After this class I will be able to answer questions concerning politics with expertise. Oh joy! All the kids are still liking school. Although the teachers have started to pile on the homework. Garrett is having to learn how to study and that is always such a fun period to get through, NOT! He not only has more words each to learn how to spell, but also definitions. They are trying to teach them time management by giving their assignments for the whole week, but not checking to make sure they are done until Friday, so Garrett thinks he can wait until Thursday to do everything! So we are already having the homework battles about what I think needs to be done and what he thinks needs to be done. My nephew, Holden, also started school today. I can't believe he is the first grade. He did great on his first day. I know he will have a great year!
