The beginning

Today is the first day of college for me, and pretty much every other college student in the state. And as usual it has proven to be the awkward, people crazy, and rather boring day it tends to be. Every teacher is handing out the syllabus, course schedule for their class. And there is of course the dreaded, let do an activity were we make you all get to know each other. Honestly this forms of things are not what I enjoy doing. I like to get to know a person as the time passes and end up sitting by different people, and so learn their names chit chat, and we become buddies for the sake of the class; not by being forced to ask them if their favorite color is the same as mine, or to introduce them to the class.

Time shall amend all of these, but it makes the first day of class boring and slow, but soon things shall settle. I am however excited for a class that is later today. It is called animal behavior. Sounds like a rather interesting class personally, as well as an oceanography class that I shall be taking tomorrow. Though there is also a class that is 3 hours long that I have tomorrow as well. It is called Psychology and modern life. It sounds and has been recommended by my friend as a very interesting and fun class, though 3 hours in one class will be intense. Luckily it is only one day a week.

But enough about school, there is one thing that I am really excited about, I ordered a tablet and it is on its way :D. It is not one of those tablets like the ipad and such it is a Wacom Bamboo Pen and Touch it is meant for drawing essentially. At least that is my plan for it. I also have a job interview on Wednesday, this may sound odd but I am not exactly sure what it is I would do if I got the job XD. Someone I know put in a word at her work for them to call me to see if I was interested in a job and to set up an interview. So they essentially called me. I believe it will be working with mildly mentally disabled people and bringing them places or to activities in the community. May possibly be an interesting job. We'll see if I get, I am fine I think if I do or don't.

I think I shall bid this post adieu. I have emptied my brain of its current rambles I believe, and may have to go find myself some subway. Curse my friend for getting it and bringing it to lunch, the smell is intoxicating and enough to make you hungry even when you're not. But Guten Tag and see ya next ramble I suppose.

This is the end...

...Of one chapter and the beginning of another. Today is my last day at my current job. I believe I have spoke of it before. It is a year of service through AmeriCorps, and today is the end of that year. It seems amazing and odd that it has already been a year, since I started. I know it has changed me as a person I believe, all for the better I would hope. Though with this job did come the lack of time to be able to do some of my own personal passions. It was a busy year filled with triumphs and lots of challenges, but I can tell you that from this year there is a lot I will be taking away from it. I feel like I can handle a lot more, I know it has taught me a lot about responsibility, and getting things done and doing them well. It has taught me how many little things go into the planning of programs and activities. And it has taught me to appreciate those who take the time to so all the work to make these happen.

It has taught me about who I am and who I hope to be in the future, but also how to take a stand for myself, and that I don't always need to try and people please. In hopes of satisfying others and not causing a big blow up. And that I need to take time to be a bit selfish and satisfy my needs and wants.

This past year has been a great experience, but I am ready to move forward. I am going back to college on the 22nd. So I have a week to clean up things that I haven't had the time or energy to take care of for the past few weeks or so. I have a week to re-energize myself and to anticipate the highs and lows of going back to school. I am excited for the sheer fact of it being school and being able to see my friends. But with that comes the stressers of school work and that teacher that you will never like. And that quiz or test that you completely forgot about so now your winging it and hoping for at least a B. This is the life I enjoy, the life of a student, and a college student at that. So I must admit I am excited for the prospect of being able to be bit more on the lazy side, the only downside is I won't have a job for a bit and will become a poor college student again. XD

So I am excited for this change in life and honestly this next week is gonna be me sleeping and cleaning and organizing. Also I am hoping I may be able to get a tablet. One of the passions that has been ignored for a while is drawing. And I would love to be able to do some computer images. And actually be able to use my hand instead coloring line art with a mouse. Which there is a bit of detachment from creativity with that. Since you are limited and it just feels slightly wrong.

But this is all for now, I believe.
Until next time my fellow Ramblers!
