Being Thinkful September 3, 2007

Going back to school has been rough on my body. Something about the extra fifty pounds on my back and waking up at ungodly hours in the morning cause my body such a great deal of stress that Saturday I slept very close to 20 hours.

However, this past week has been one of the best in my life. I not only went back to school, I was able to purchase books and supplies with my financial aid, meet with students of similar interests, and get a check for my student loan which I will hopefully be able to use to purchase contacts and some new clothing. My second time being a freshman is completely different, the first time I really had no desire or motivation. Going to school was what everyone did; an expectation set by my family and friends. After two years, I attend school because I wish to pursue higher education.

So, I pack the supplies up and get up early to take the bus, stay up late studying and spend my extra time trying to discover my campus, for me and only me.
