First Day of Kindergarten (Oops! I Mean Basic Drawing Class)

Today was the first day of my basic drawing class.  It started off real dark - we were under a tornado warning.  It was so dark that it almost felt like it was evening.  Here is our living room and kitchen.  Granted the blinds were closed, but it was still dark outside too.

Here's my art bag, all packed and ready to go.  I have a sketch pad, a ruler, eraser, pencils, pencil sharpener, charcoal, q-tips for bending, and a board to draw on.

It got lighter the closer I got to my class.  It was still hot and humid though.  Here's me, feeling nervous because I haven't had art class since junior high.  I'm worried that I'll be the only one that won't be able to draw.  I wonder, is it too late to drop out and get my money back?

I feel like a little kid going off to kindergarten the first day.  I even have a cup of coffee.  I don't think kindergarteners drink coffee, do they?  Chad was like a parent on the first day of school - he took my picture, straightened my sweater, said a prayer for me, and gave a quick little kiss before he sent me on his way.  I think he was tempted to walk me to the school bus (really our car).  I'll be expecting cookies and milk after class!

Isaiah 64:8 (NASB)

But now, O Lord, You are our Father,
We are the clay, and You our potter;
And all of us are the work of Your hand.
