Freshman

Wow, I can't believe its been over a month since my last post. Sadly I haven't done much since then.

Yesterday was my first day back to school. My God! For the last couple of months it hasn't really phased me that going back to school would be a huge change in my life. When I was sitting in my first class yesterday morning I looked around and saw about 20 faces all about 7-9 years younger than mine. I thought, "what the hell am I doing here? This is ridiculous, I should be somewhere earning money and making a life for myself!"

We all sat around in anticipation to see who our professor would be, looked around to check each other out, looked at our watches to count the minutes until the day's end. In walked Dr. Jane, an older lady with grey hair and glasses in her 40's, with an updated outfit. She wore simple sandals, a pinky-greenish funky skirt that flowed about and complimented it with a faded jean jacket. As she began to talk about the semester ahead of us in the 'Nature of Religion' most of us intently listened and laughed at her rants about this and that. And in that first 50 minutes of her lecturing us about why we're sitting in that classroom, I began to feel comfortable. I began to like this lady in front of me. I began to realize why I'm going to school again, its something that I want to do, I want to learn about these cool things, I want to educate my mind, I want to be able to educate others.

Geez, I hope I can keep this attitude up for the next 6 years.
