Not sure what to make of this

I started school Wednesday, I have been preparing myself for that day-the pep talks, promising I'll be more committed to studying, not staying up so late-yada yada. Well this semester I am in Spanish III, Pre-Algebra, and I decided to take a Philosophy class. The math class I think will be good it's at 7:30am (what was I thinking) the teacher is laid back, funny and seems to be patient.

My Philosophy class seems r-e-a-l-l-y relaxed. The teacher is not giving out any homework, we have to read a chapter a week, we have a mid-term group project which seems really easy and for the final, we have a 40 true/false test. Is he serious?! I don't know what to do with myself.

Finally, Spanish. The teacher pushes you, and by pushes you I mean gives you cinder blocks to hold and stands on your head while you're treading water. :) The entire class is in Spanish-no English is spoken. The books are ENTIRELY in Spanish. I was trying to do my homework last night and deciphering the instructions took me about 20 minutes! I know it'll get easier, I am just in that freaked out phase right now.

I have to carry 2 bags (which finally brings me to the point of this post). I carry a backpack on my back and I also carry a shoulder bag (Both FULL of notebooks and books for my classes). I got home from school yesterday and nearly collapsed, they're so heavy!

So, I am looking for a backpack on wheels. You heard me. I told some of my friends that and they said "Oh the Old lady bag?" Are you serious? I have noticed that some of the more mature women roll those bags around.

I don't care-I'm on a search for one! I'll post what I find!
