More classes

Last night, Dan and I attended a transitions/breastfeeding class at the local hospital. The class was particularly for busy, first-time parents.
The class was wonderful. The transitions information was pretty much stuff I already knew, but having an overview was great for both of us. But I found the breastfeeding part the most interesting. I plan to breastfeed. I've never really questioned it, but I'll admit, it's not something I knew a ton about. If the class did anything last night, it gave me more confidence in that area.
The negative part of the night was five Presentation College nursing students who were sitting in on the class. The students were rude, visited throughout the entire three and a half hours, giggled at inappropriate times and spent more time playing with their keys and cell phones instead of listening to what was being said. They were distracting to us and the other couple sitting near them. So distracting, in fact, that I said something to the instructor following the class. I also e-mailed the nursing chair of the school today to let her know about the students' behavior. To be fair, with the childbirth class we also took, there was a student participating as well. She was fantastic. You could tell she was there to learn. I wish the students yesterday would have been more like that.
