I know I've only officially been to my school once. And I know I have no idea what classes are like or how the people are, or even what buildings are which... But I want to say...
Already, I love my new school. Everyone is super friendly (so far) and my advisor ACTUALLY helps me. And I mean... there was an extra transcript I was supposed to fax. That I didn't know I needed to until it was too late for it to matter. In my panic I called the advising office like 3 times. and faxed it over anyways. Then at orientation, my advisor ACTUALLY remembered it. She says "You called me yesterday, didn't you..." and I'm like "yes! I did!" she remembered my name and my voice apparently. I was quite impressed.
And then there is a lower division class that I couldn't get into because it was close close closed with a capital C. I was a little worried about trying to add cause I dont like leaving things till last minute like that but I figured I'd live. AND THEN, the next working day (this all happened on a saturday) my advisor straight up calls me and is like "i know you were trying to add this class. So I have a permission number for you." and she leaves it on my voicemail.
How incredibly ridiculously helpful and sweet is that? I feel like it's being spoiled... what after my community college career and all. thi sort of real college care absolutely astounds me.
And I love it. I even bought a shirt. I love it.
And I think back to going to school in LA and how much I dreaded it. And how much I hated it. And how the whole experience right from the very very start was more bitter than it was sweet. All the signs were foreboding and the clouds never cleared.
But this time? with this? it seems so much more promising. And i'm so much more emotionally and mentally ready for it. I'm ready. And i'm happy.
Things to be apprehensive about:
- Finding a place to live
- Living with a roommate
- meeting new friends
- Being apart from Adam
Things to be excited about:
- Having a new place to live. (squeals. eeeep. yay. wooooo. giddy giddy)
- . . . fixing (and hopefully not making worse) a friendship with aforementioned roommate (that's probably a glum feeling. more like)
- Meeting new friends. :-D meeting new friends.
- Growing stronger with Adam.
Right now? other than work-panic.... I'm actually pretty content. yay. yay. woot. yay. ahhhhh.
