Yikes and Yippee!

It's been a long while since I have had butterflies.

For me, I get butterflies when I am excited and nervous all at once. Butterflies tend to happen to me when I am looking forward to something new, something unknown. I kind of like them. It means something exciting is about to happen.

Today the butterflies came back when I got my first assignment for my new class.

I was accepted into a certificate program at the University of Washington. I was accepted months ago, but have been a little bit busy. Thus, the start of school was pushed back in my mind. I have gotten a few emails about the class, but October 4 just seemed super far away. Until today.

Today I got my first assignment.

It's due next week.

On the first day of school.

Yikes!

And Yippee!

I am so very excited to be in a class and challenge my brain in a new way. But I am also nervous. I haven't had a first day of school in over 9 years.

Butterflies.
