School Daze
As finals week approaches swiftly, I grasp the idea that I have survived. I don't know why I quit, this "college thing" really is not so horrifying once you get into it.
...although I must admit that I feel old when surrounded by 18 year old freshmen griping about how "boring" each class is... and I realize I am virtually enthralled with the professor's words.
If my estimates are correct, I should be walking away from this semester with a straight A average. This will elevate my measly 1.6 GPA (Yay for poor decisions and dropping out the stupid way.) back up to a 2.7... Assuming the advisor who did the calculations is correct -- and she double-checked her math so I feel fairly secure in the estimate -- soon I shall return to the Writer's Workshop program...
There's a light at the end of this long, cliched tunnel... it is a train, but I have found a maintenance tunnel to hide in while the behemoth passes me by.
Overall, returning to college has been one of the best decisions I have made in a very long time, I feel like my old self once more.
