it's time.

It’s Wednesday.  I start school tonight and I couldn’t be more excited.



Yes, I am definitely one of those people.  Meaning that the smell of freshly sharpened pencils and the feel of newly opened textbooks make my skin tingle.  Already, my mind is just bursting with even the idea of all the things I’m going to learn this semester--all the ways I’m going to grow and change.  I adore knowing that I will be just a little bit different after these 16 weeks are over.



Truthfully though, I can already feel myself falling behind.  In between reading the syllabi for my 3 classes online last night and checking the prices of the textbooks I need, my head nearly exploded.  That’s in addition to all the other things I need to do--like reply to emails and pay bills and make phone calls to family members I haven’t spoken to in awhile.  There is a stack of books next to my bed that mostly remain unopened and my dusty keyboard is begging to be played.  This morning, I made a mental to-do list as I drove to work and I wondered how people do it.  It was almost as if I wanted to feel stressed and overwhelmed.



But for some reason, I’m not.  My books and piano and emails will still be there tomorrow and the next day and the day after that.  This semester, however, I have been given a great opportunity that so many other people don’t have and may never get.  And I, myself, haven’t been to school in two years now.  Which is two years longer than I could’ve ever hoped it would be.



But no worries about that.



Because now it’s time.  It’s time.



French, Logic, and Biological Psychology...here I come. :)
