After four months of figuring things out, working three jobs, and taking two courses at school... today was my first day at a new place. I've left the University of Guelph and have begun strolling down this new path of mine. This path where I know someone is walking by my side smiling... getting my education at Heritage College full-time.
It's a scary thing when, you are older than the rest of the students starting their time in the post-secondary experience, but I know that I will live a more fulfilling life with all these connections that are at my reach for what I want to do. I'm excited and yet so scared, it's not a doubt type of scared, but a scared that I want to be able to drown myself in absorbing as much as I can and just grow with knowledge and experience.
The hard part about all of this is what I feel are obligations: friends, church events, family, and just the overall helping people out. I enjoy it all, but I feel that some assume that since I'm around I will be involved with anything they need me to do. It doesn't work like that anymore. I have school, something I've been wanting to do with my life for so long and it's finally happening. I don't want to pass up this opportunity for others that think that they know best.
Other than that, I'm really pumped for tomorrow. It's my first day of classes. I have Intro to Canadian Sociology, English Composition, NT Survey, Global Outreach Strategies, and Intro to Theology. They are definitely not like the courses I have taken in the past (science credits), so it should be good I have a lot of reading I need to get done... it's 9 books for the 5 courses... CARAZAY! The awesome part is that I only have school tuesdays and thursdays... I hope I can do well with sitting through all of the classes and not be a distraction.... because "it's been a while" as Matt Good would say in his song "It's been a while since I was your man"
G'day.... L8s, latex, and all that love stuff!
