First Day for Mommy, Second week for Son

So today started my fall semester. I was so ready this morning to start school...I didn't sleep all night thinking of everything I had to have packed and ready to go. So off to work I went, absolutely exhausted, for lack of sleep. After working 4 hours, I headed to school. Completely excited about the start of the semester. I walk into class...and I got even more excited when the professor remembered me from a year ago.

Only I shouldn't have gotten excited about that...he seemed to remember that in that semester when he had a question..I could usually answer it, because I actually did the reading. Unfortunately his class was a year ago...so I didn't remember all his questions.

Here is an example of how the class went.....

"Does anyone know the name of this historical building? Melissa, what's the answer?"

"Uhh the Parthenon."

"Right. And Melissa who was the Parthenon built for?"

"Athena"

"Excellent. And where is the Parthenon located?"

"Athens."

"Right but more specifically where."

"Ohhh ummm shoot on a mountain...can't remember the name"

"Melissa you remember this, we discussed it last year.."

"Ohhh ummmm OOOOHHH on top of the Acropolis"

"Right...and there is an exact replica of the Parthenon built somewhere in the United States, who knows where? (No one answers) Melissa?"

"Nashville, Tennessee.."

"Excellent, Excellent, have you been there Melissa?"

"Nope I saw the movie Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief, and they take you there."

(At this he busts out laughing)

And that is pretty much how my entire class went....

Then I get out of class...and I have a phone call from my mother..."to call her immediately, about my son."

So I call, and what does she tell me?

That, "MY SON, pulled a stunt today, and refused to get onto the bus this afternoon, b/c his Grandpa was picking him up. that MY SON, held up the bus, because he refused. That MY SON MADE the teacher call his Grandpa to find out if Grandpa was picking him up" (Which he wasn't)

So it's been a great start :)
