time on campus

I began winter quarter today. I was supposed to have two classes today but there was a screw up with the registrar's office and I only have one. I also begin another class the middle of next month, on Friday evenings. Weird; I know. Even though this puts a wrench in my three year plan it also actually works out pretty well.

I was supposed to be in class all day every other Saturday from 8:30 - 4:30. Even though it was every other weekend J was not happy with this. He made it very clear to me he hated the idea of me being gone all day. And being left in Y's very capable hands. Although I had a schedule worked out for him - and Y to follow in regards to meds and stuff - and my cell phone number was on the fridge, and he knew who to call in case neither him nor Y could get a hold of me J was not liking any of it. He seemed resigned though to accept the situation.

Then, yesterday, I found out about the screw up and went down to campus to try and fix it. J wanted to come with. I was fine with that. As far as he knew I was still going to be in class all day on Saturdays so I think having him there on campus and seeing again where I'm going to school helped him deal with the concept of my schedule. He was so curious and talked to everybody we ran in to or who was helping me. He loved the bookstore/gift shop. He also met my teacher from last quarter. She was arriving to teach a class last night.

All in all, being on campus and seeing where I attend school seemed to help J. He told me it was all right with him if I was in clas all day, just as long as I call home on my breaks. I told him I would.

Well, then I found out I couldn't re-enroll in the one class that was accidentally dropped. It was full. So this put me down to two classes instead of three. I was bummed. J tried to be for me - he told me he was sorry I lost a class - but I could tell he was happy to know I wasn't going to be gone all day now. He had this smile he was trying so hard to hide. When I asked him if he was actually happy about the one class he admitted he was. I just laughed and told him I knew it. I then asked for a hug and he said okay.

We then headed home.

Then, today when I left for class he was all smiles and giving me tons of hugs and telling me to enjoy class. It was quite the change from what I've been dealing with lately. It's given me something to think about. Weekend College goes from Friday evening until Sunday afternoon. I may need to set up me schedule so that I have classes Friday, Saturday sometime and then again on Sunday. I wonder if this will help J feel better about my class schedules. It probably will and I want him to be comfortable while I'm in school.
