Hope I wake up
I hope I wake up on time.
Tomorrow is the beginning of college for the first time in four years. I’m only taking one class, but am seriously considering a path that will lead me to more school.
My last lapse in schooling lasted five years, but I was also younger then. And this time, I do have a degree.
I often get asked if I go to school here. I usually respond, in an irritated voice, that no, I just work. That will still be true after class starts. School is not my job. I’m not in Fresno for school.
I sometimes wonder if I really still look young enough to be in college. I don’t feel like it. I feel some culture shock coming on. I felt old the last time.
Then again, most of the questioners are decades older, so perhaps they’re no longer good judges of age. I know I’m not. Anything under 25 seems babyish, and old keeps getting older and older. Old is a few nebulous years older than my dad, because my dad is not old, and never will be old.
I’m sure this class will be fine. I don’t really care what people think. Community college is traditionally a place where there’s a mix of old and young, and it seems I will fit into that first category.
Btw … I have a Las Vegas post brewing. I just haven’t had the time, because my procrastination has been keeping me from writing it, and from mentally preparing for school.
Mentally preparing, huh? You’re much farther along than ne.
For me, the hard part would be adjusting to homework again. Studying. Ugh…starting to remember all the things I disliked about school. Anyway, good luck to you. I’m sure you’ll fit in fine.
What class are you taking?
A web design class.
