I am now officially in college! I decided earlier this summer to take only three classes, assuming I'd be overwhelmed by the idea of school and homework, but now I feel that I regret the decision. I want more. Guess I'll have to wait until next semester to take a stab at four or five classes.
I enjoy being in a new setting, in an environment where most people go primarily to learn, not to be a part of some clique to gain popularity and status. College is different than high school. Yes, even community college is. Which is something I find encouraging to say the least. I go on my own terms, learn what I must and leave without worrying that I completely humiliated myself in front of a billion people, who wrinkle their noses at me or something.
High school was tramautizing, for God's sake. lol. Ideally, college won't be the same. I expect to work my ass off, and I will NOT let myself down this time. So there.
Life is tolerable, currently. Everything seems to be going well. I just wish I could be there to enjoy and thrive in it. That's as far as I will go along those lines before I end up sounding like a whiny, ungrateful bitch. Online journals are meant to be superficial.
Later!
