the next chapter begins

It's a big week of change...and I'm not sure what I was thinking when i picked my end date to be the same week as when class starts. I was just crazy!!! I feel like I've barely closed the chapter on those 5ish years of work before jumping head first into prepping for school. Yesterday, I went on campus to get my ID card (yay! student discounts here i come!) and listened to some sorority girls in line behind me talk about their parties, etc and felt soooo old. heh I can't believe I'm going back to school.

Anyhow. Yup. I will officially begin my return stint as student tomorrow with a wonderful first day 10am-10pm (there's class 10-4 and then a training session for tutoring SAT verbal 5-10). oh boy, can't wait. Not to mention, it'll be my first time riding the Light Rail. woo hoo! no need to deal with parking, saves gas, free VTA pass thru school and helps the environment...oh wait! and uninterrupted time to study on the train! WOW. it's an all-around win.

On Monday (my last day), I woke up in a panic. The enormity of what i was about to do sorta hit me and I was thinking "omg! what was i thinking?? i'm crazy!! is it too late to turn back?" Heh...yeah. I'm a bit scared about this latest venture of mine, but I know engineering's not for me and I'm tired of sticking with it based on fear. Besides which, I have faith that God doesn't want me to be doing something i hate for the rest of my life (so bye bye engineering), but instead He made me for something better and what's more...it'll be something that I'm good at and LOVE to do. So I'm grabbing onto His promise and going "to infinity & beyond!"

9/6 Note: yes...i know this is horribly post-dated, i actually started this but never got around to posting it. i can't believe i've already been in school for 2 weeks! i have a feeling i'll be posting a lot less often. :( but one day...i hope to get around to posting the top 10 reasons to be a student...
