Well kids, I am back here at La Jolla, ready to embark on yet another quarter of schooling at the glorious University of California, San Diego.
Oh god, shoot me now.
Haha. One year ago exactly, I remember moving back and being ridiculously sad. I couldn't stop crying. I didn't want to be here, I didn't want to go to school, I didn't want to be 30 minutes away from my boyfriend.
Oh how a year changes.
For once, I was really excited to move back here. I feel at peace in my little La Jolla home, with my little La Jolla room, and my little La Jolla bed. It makes me happy. I am so excited to be able to see my school friends and be in my own world again. Don't get me wrong, I am dreading the whole learning process, but at the same time I am feeling very motivated. It is rather empowering knowing that this quarter, my sole purpose in life is to focus on school.
I decided that I am going to have a sober quarter this time. Alcohol fogs the mind and I need a clear, level head to survive the 22 units that I am taking. I intend on having a good time with friends and what not, but I certainly do not need alcohol to have a good time.
I have decided that I can use this quarter to my advantage, not to runaway from my problems, but rather to persevere through them. I can use it to prove to myself that I am OKAY on my own. I am in control of my destiny, and no boy and no family member can take that control away from me.
If mister right comes along, give him my number and tell him to call me in March, but until then, I am putting me and my future first. Wow, I don't remember the last time I have put me first. This is kinda cool and feels kind of selfish at the same time... but it is time to come first. It is MY time. :)
