i'm doing an AWESOME job at living life for me. i've dropped a lot of crap i had been carrying around, and started playing it straight with a few people that were bringing me down along the way. i also have started to mend a few things that were ruined for childish reasons. hopefully that works out, i'm curious to see where it goes...
i've decided i want to be a college professor. i've never been more excited. i know what i want out of life and am so enthusiastic to go for it. if all goes as planned (that being me getting accepted to the grad school i've picked out) i'll be moving to johnson city, tennessee come december. classes will start in january and i'll be that much closer to a master's degree in sociology. i've completely nerded out about this whole thing, picking out my classes prematurely, researching apartments, and falling in love with a school i've never even seen outside of brochures.
so on september 19th, i will make a trip to johnson city, alone, and get acquainted with the university/city. maybe even get to meet an online friend [yay linds!] i've scheduled a tour of the campus and a meeting with the graduate coordinator of the sociology dept. i reserved my hotel tonight (which i got a killer deal on! hot tub in the room and fridge/microwave for $59 a night. score!) and i'll map everything out soon. mom had mentioned something about coming along, but i feel this is something i need to do alone, without any outside persuasion. this degree is something i'm doing for ME and everything pertaining to it needs to be at my discretion.
look out adult world, i'm hitting the ground running and there's no turning back!
