Tomorrow happens to be my first day at Iowa State. I'm so f*cking excited - for a multitude of reasons. First, it means that I never have to go to DMACC again, which in turn means no more driving to stupid Boone (which in itself is cause for celebration). Second, it means that I am halfway done with my college education! I could/should be farther ahead, but we all know how that goes... I'm nervous to actually start at a real university though. Just the size of the campus overwhelms me, but knowing that I am going to be receiving my education at the same place as so many famous people in history have learned is pretty cool. I went on Saturday morning and got my textbooks ($350 - which is actually quite low so YAY) and stopped by Target tonight to use a giftcard I got for xmas for some supplies. I have my backpack all loaded up and have the coffee pot set to start percolating first thing in the morning. Since my apartment complex is kind of off the beaten path, I have to drive to Hilton to park and take the commuter bus onto campus. Holly and I rode the bus around town the other night so that I could get a feel for the whole situation, so I'm aptly prepared for it. I don't know... I guess what stresses me out is that I'm going to just be another body in a class of 200-400 people. At the same time though, I can actually find some comfort in knowing that because I'm just an average Joe in the classroom, I won't feel so much like I'm in high school again - like I did at DMACC. Seriously. That place was just like being in 13th and 14th grade. It sucked.
Sorry that the posts have been so few and far between. It's just been a little semi-hectic around me lately, so the blogging was put on the back burner. Never fear, I shall start making more regular posts. I have a feeling that there might be one coming tomorrow night (just sayin').
Hopefully everyone had a nice weekend! Back to reality tomorrow.
