back to schooooooool
Classes start up again in one week. I can feel the anxiety rearing its ugly head yet again! Hopefully I can deal with it in healthy ways!
I only have to buy one textbook this semester, but it will run me about $300 new or $200 used. I'm going to see if Scottie will chauffeur me to the bookstore at some point today, so I can be sure to get a used copy! I also need to get fenders for my bike, and probably a pair of rain pants because I'll most likely be biking to school and work for the first few weeks. I might be able to use Shane's car (he just bought a 1982 Diesel VW jetta) once it's out of the shop. I plan on getting my own car too, though. I applied for a scholarship that would pay for the entire year, and I'm pretty optimistic that I'll get it. Hopefully, I can use some of that surplus money to buy a vehicle and get it insured.
I didn't get to accomplish nearly as much as I wanted to this summer, mostly because of our lack of a vehicle. I wanted to camp more than once, and I wanted to take at least a couple of road trips. Ah well...next summer.
I have a ton of vacation time accrued, so I'm formulating plans to jet on down to Seattle for Christmas. I'd like to be there for about ten days, and see lots of people, like funkmasterbink, who is back from Japan!
In my usual fashion, I'm masking my underlying anxiety with unwavering optimism. Things should go well this semester! I'm ready.
