But, with my Mat Leave starting to draw to a close, I decided I needed to do something about it. It has been almost 4 years since I have graduated from college, yet Monday morning I found myself back in a classroom, sitting uncomfortably close to strangers, staring blankly at the skeleton hanging on its stand by the white board. Everyone knew each other besides me, and within a half an hour of the 4 hour class, I could already see the clicks, the 'losers', the smokers, and the beautiful people. No matter what the age, we never seem to grow up and all just get along, especially when shoved into a classroom together for hour and months and years. I was there for only a week for a refresher in Anatomy, yet even in that short of time, I too, was placed into a group without even wanting to be. Many of the classmates seemed afraid of me, so I sat up front focusing on my work until the 'pretty girls' took me in. It was nice to talk to people who are in the same position I was in just a few years ago, but also made me feel quite old.With the rate Aubrey is growing, soon enough it will be the day that he is heading to school. I'm sure as parents, we will have many sleepless nights wondering about his grades, if that friend is being a bad influence, and are we allowing extra circular activities to take away from his learning. I just hope that it is easy for him, and he is that kid who is friends with everyone. That's all we can do right? Hope and try to instill the proper values in him.By thursday, I had a better feel of what I need to know for August and made some great reference notes to keep my mind fresh in the mean time. Now it's back to regular life and just trying to be the best mom I can be.Katie Rose xo
