School

The word is officially in. Janda WILL be resuming her duties as faithful school companion this quarter. My parents still don't want her riding in their car (which I drive) so it will work as follows:

Tuesdays and Thursdays

• 8:30am I will pick Janda up at her house and walk just down the road to the bus stop
• 9:45am we will arrive (via bus) at the college and wait a while for my class to start
• 10:30am she will sit through Communications (the professor of this class knew Vortex and met Janda when she was just a tiny baby pup and will be VERY excited to have Bean in class!)
• 11:30am she will either sit through Scene Tech or join one of our other puppy raisers on campus if I have to work in the shop where the noise would damage her ears
• 12:30pm we'll act together in Acting (the class where 1/2 of the students knew her from last quarter and have been asking almost every day when she's coming back)
• 2:30pm I hope she won't howl as she listens to Voice class practicing (my professor in this class also knew Vortex and asked me yesterday when I was going to bring back another puppy)
• 3:50pm we will board the bus heading back to Janda's house
• 5:00pm Janda will arrive back home, exhausted

It'll be a full 8 1/2 hour day for both of us, but she's old enough that it'll be a great experience for her I think. Plus she will get to ride the bus--a great experience since a lot of visually impaired people use public transportation frequently.
