that road ahead?

Jul 29, 2007 03:36

college is coming up fast.  running...okay no scratch that....sprinting towards me.  I did two years at KCC and I did fine.  Held up a solid grade point average.  Enjoyed most of my classes.  But this is different.  I'm going to fully responsible for everything I do from the moment I get up there on August 20th until the last day of classes.  And I'm excited, because I'm finally getting out of thise dead end, blackhole, nowhere, nothing, no good town.  But at the same time, I am more frightened that I have ever been.  I can't believe that I'm going to be, essentially, all by myself.  I have friends who go to Grand Valley, and I have a cousin that goes there too, but I'm really going to be all alone.  I hope it doesn't crack me up.

I keep on having these weird premonitions that something terrible is going to happen to someone that I love while I'm away at college.  Something like hearing that a good friend died or my dad had stroke.  I can't figure it out, and I really can't describe it.  All I know is that I have had this feeling before, this feeling that something awful was going to happen, and that feeling proved true on August 25, two years ago.  I really hope this time it's just a false alarm.  
I don't know how exactly I would handle another blow to my psyche.
