Blah.
Lately, my life has consisted of going to class, working, studying and doing homework. My social activities have been kept to a minimum, which has, indeed, kept my pocket full, but leaves me with a strange sense of emptiness and boredom.
This consant class-work-study routine has got me really thinking about what I want and what I need right now. While school is my priority, I can't help but think of all the stuff that I'm missing out on by living at home. I love my family and my job is tolerable (most of the time), but I'm not even close to being challenged in any of my classes, so I'm already slacking off majorly in all of my classes. I want to stay close to home and keep my job, but I need to be challenged, busy and have fun in order to be successful.
The routine I'm in makes me feel like an adult workaholic, just worried about paying bills (my car) and saving money (for tuition). I want to take a break; be a kid again. I want to go draw on sidewalks with chalk, go to the cider mill and eat a caramel apple, then later wiping off the sticky residue all over my face.
I don't know, maybe I'm overreacting... but as soon as I get done with my first semeseter and get my transcript, I'm sending them off with my applications to the University of Michigan and Michigan State University. At this point, I don't even care about the "money issue." So what if I'm paying student loans off until I'm 85?
I'm crossing my fingers that I get into U of M.
