a town called mallice
so i had my first two classes today. they were fun! and 50 minutes went by fast. thornton academy kids are everywhere; people i don't really know. the kids i sit next to are nice although it's easy to see why smcc is just a community school. i'm glad i don't have anything like assemblies for freshman, i go to class, i come home to my apartment. and i'm especially glad i don't live in a dorm! however, classes on tuesdays and thursdays don't end until 2:45 and start at 11. i wish i'd done that better. oh well.
i can't believe this is my first day of college. college i remember being a little kid and my mom explaining the expansion of TA. she told me someday i'd go to school there. and i was like, "what, no! i'll never be old enough to go there!" now it's in the past. this is it, i'm in this stream of higher education and furthered learning. i'm paying for this and doing this on purpose and choosing this. it's just so different. i feel so grown up. and like i've said before, i have a great apartment, wonderful boyfriend, caring friends and family, and (so far) a good school. i feel like i've been waiting for this. this independence, this choice. it's a little scary but when things settle down i have a feeling i'll really like this.
