I AM OFFICIALLY A GRADUATE STUDENT! today was my first day at american as a first year environmental science masters student (mouthful!). ive spent so many months thinking, stressing about starting school that it almost feels anticlimactic. maybe im still in shock, the reality hasnt quite set in. did i really just sign my life over for the next two years?? i opted out of a friends shin dig tonight to stay in and do homework. HOMEWORK. ive certainly had my doubts: was this the right choice? am i ready to go back to school? can i handle everything?
...yet somehow it just feels right. terrifying for sure, but right.
it felt weird/natural/uncomfortable/normal to be back in a classroom again. so familiar, having spent the majority of life in a classroom. having spent the past 2 years of my life NOT in school, building a life not dependent on school breaks or exams, the concept of finals, papers, and class participation arent second nature to me anymore. though im sure its only a matter of time before im in the thick of it again!
whole new campus to explore, whole new student body to befriend, all new subjects to learn, personal limits and expectations to test. this is definitely the beginning of new crazy/stressful/exciting chapter in whatever semblance of a life i have left!
