One Productive Monday

Another busy day here in the Tucky!

This afternoon I took The Princess over to Milestones for her OT with Sakina.  What a difference from last week, when she was all oh-my-gosh-look-at-all-the-stuff-I-must-play-with-everything-right-NOW!  We made our way into the gym and The Princess spent a good amount of time in the swings.  Sakina explained to me how some movements can be stimulating and others can be calming.  I'm excited to put this into practice at home.

After blowing off some steam in the gym we all headed across the hall to the therapy room, where The Princess and Sakina strung beads, put pegs into a pegboard and colored with markers.  The Princess was unbelievably attentive - it's really amazing to see the difference OT can make in her concentration and overall demeanor.

When we were done in the therapy room, Sakina took The Princess into the hall to roll on a little scooter for a bit.  She wasn't sure about it at first, but quickly caught on to the workings of the thing and scooted herself from Sakina to me...earning a great big hug when she got there. 

Before leaving, we stopped off at the ol' potty where The Princess showed off her still-dry Pull-Up and tinkled like a champ.  She was extremely entertained by the sink that turns on when you put your hands under it, and splashed a little more than was completely necessary...but it was cute as a button.  As I was wiping down the counter, The Princess grabbed the diaper bag and dragged it to the door.  When I caught up with her and opened the door, she proceeded to drag the diaper bag down the hall to the door into the waiting room.  So cute!

Home again, home again, jiggity-jig.

On the way, I called school to find out what the testing center hours are for this week.  They gave me the info and I came home to do a little more reviewing.  I had decided to put math off as long as possible, and took off at about 4:30 to take my English/reading tests.

They said to allow two hours for this test.  Forty minutes after starting, I was very surprised to find I had finished.  I stepped out of the testing center to the desk, and was told I had scored 100%.  Yippee!  Since I had planned to be there longer anyway, I figured what the heck...so I went back in and took the math test.  Not perfect, by any means, but not bad either.

After taking my placement exams I headed down the hall to leave.  I noticed that the admissions office was still open, so I stepped inside to see if there was an advisor around who could help with my course placement.  It just so happened that there was an advisor there with no one else waiting, so I sat down with her and I now have my schedule for the spring semester.  I'll be taking English, Computer Literacy, Biology and MCC101 (college intro) on campus; and psych as a telecourse.

I'm officially a full-time student, starting in January.
