I start classes in two weeks. Something about being an online student is infinitely less exciting than being on a campus. I seriously considered buying a new pair of pajamas for the first day of school.
I graduated with my B.A. in English this Spring, and I am going on to get my Masters in Speech and Language Pathology. Before I get to my Masters, I have to take a ton of pre-req courses. I decided to take them online because my life is so up in the air right now. Adam just graduated with his M.S., and we plan to move wherever he finds a job, and I mean wherever. He has applied all over the country, and were happy to try out anything. I can barely schedule a doctors appointment without wondering if we will even be in the state, so online classes seemed like the best idea.
I'm starting to realize, though, that everything I loved about school is missing in online courses. Obviously, I miss having a social life. I'm miss getting coffee between classes, running into friends on campus, and going back to my apartment to watch bad T.V. with my best friend. I guess I have been mourning college lately, or maybe just missing my friends and the life I made there.
This is one of the moments in life where everything changes, and everything is unknown. Sometimes I am bursting with excitement at the idea that any day I could find out we are moving across the country, but more often I am feeling lonely and stuck. I know that these feeling come with the territory of being a recent graduate, and I know that one day (hopefully soon) I'll feel in control of my life again. Until then I'll try to enjoy free food, a lake house, my wonderful boyfriend, and having virtually no responsibilities. Okay, things are not so bad :)
Oh, this little guy helps too:
