First Day of Class

Woohoo! This HHOF Presents class feels like it's going to be a lot of fun! Our co-instructors are Kevin Shea (who co-wrote Ron Ellis' bio, "Over the Boards" along with several other books), and Phil Pritchard, the HHOF Vice-President, Hockey Operations and Curator, who also starred in the Mastercard Stanley Cup commercial! =P They're pretty fun! Plus we get guest speakers and video clips every week! Oh, and our last week of class we have a trip to the HHOF--nothing new to me, but it's still fun!

So yes, I'm really excited about this course, and I'm glad I took it! Even though I absolutely HATED the driving! The traffic was horrible! I left my house around 5:20pm and arrived at Seneca around 6:35pm. @_@ Coming home it only took me about 35min! Anyway, I suppose objectively it isn't that bad of a drive, but I really hate driving--it stresses me out! I started the class with a major headache thanks to the drive up, and I got home with another major headache thanks to the ride back. ^^;; On the bright side, I didn't get lost. Anyway, I'm really grateful that my dad is going to pick me up from class from now on, so I can just take the transit down instead! It'll take a bit longer to get there by transit, but it'll be a lot less stressful!

I'm off to Pennsylvania until Friday (family trip), and I'm so excited about the class, I'm even bringing books to prepare for next week's topic--the formation of the NHL, etc.--even though it's not necessary to read up beforehand! ^_^ SO exciting! Learning is fun once again!
