So I'm going to Virginia
Tomorrow. I leave tomorrow to take nearly all my belongings and move 450 miles away to Roanoke, Virginia. This is all I've wanted since I was 13 years old; I just wanted to get out of Ohio. Now that it's here...I...I feel a little sad, nervous and apprehensive.
There's a few specific things I'm worried about the most:
1. Friends. Mainly, will I find some. I mean, I know I will find SOMEONE whom I am friendly with but what I mean are the main people I hang out with three or four times a week. People in the program and I already have at least one thing in common. I'm a very nice person, if not a little shy when I first meet people. I'm just flashing back to freshman year at Otterbein where I feel like I was so uncomfortable with myself. But now, at least, I can firmly say I do indeed love who I am, though I know I have a ton of improvements to make (who doesn't?).
2. Money. Enough said. The loans don't come in until the first of September. Which reminds me I forgot to pick up my checks from the bank today. DAMMIT.
3. Being unable to keep up with the pace of my program. I am a good student. I work very hard and am very, very dedicated to my writing. I've only turned in one thing late in my entire life and that was because it got buried in my papers, not because it wasn't finished. But this program is more about thought than being timely. Is my quality of thought up to par with everyone else in the program? Am I in over my head?
We'll see what happens. I'm predicting I cry within...2 weeks.
