Day #58 – KC

To some KC means Kansas City, but around here it stands for Kilgore College. Today we had to run up to campus to make sure all of Hannah’s finance was in order and register her for 2 more classes. Jackson is taking 16 hours and Hannah is taking 12.

I thought school started on the 30th. I found out it actually starts on Monday. The kids are excited about this new chapter of their lives. We had to walk across campus to talk to their advisor.

It’s such a great little school which I think is going to be perfect for the kids. Jackson’s best friend said he saw us, but was busy moving into his dorm. I asked Jackson if he wanted to live in the dorms, but he said he’d rather live at home which is fine by me. Hannah also still wants to live at home.

If you hadn’t noticed, Kilgore was once a booming oil town and you can see pumper jacks all around.

My sister actually went to college here when I was 4. I still remember the fight song (she was a cheerleader and although we lived in Corpus we came up when we could). I’m the only one impressed that I still know it. I hope we get to go to some of the football games this Fall.

Jackson had a doctor’s appointment to get his meningitis shot later in the afternoon. I hadn’t realized that we can see the newly painted water tower from the parking lot. Cut me some slack, it’s a big deal here.

We went to Walmart as a family. You kinda have to take what you can get as far as outings go. Hannah, who normally dresses up and wears heels, decided she needs to rethink her footwear after walking around campus. We found the cutest sneakers at Walmart. Hannah is not into fancy brands, she just likes what she likes.

I think they will serve her well. Plus we were impressed with some of their clothing selection even though we really prefer thrifting because fast fashion is not good. However, sometimes when you need something in particular you have to actually go to a big box store.

And can we say an Amen that my hair appointment is on the 29th? I need my layers cut so badly.

Yeah, I don’t know what the whole bang area is doing. Eek.

It’s only 9:00, but I’ve had a headache all day. We picked up some Tylenol (fake brand) pm so I’m going to take that and try to sleep. Hopefully I’ll wake up feeling so much better.
