Oh. School. Right!
Actually, after my first few bona-fide hours of studying, I’m reminded: “oh, yeah. This is why I’m in school. Learning is actually… yeah. It’s good stuff.”
Which is good, after a weekend of thinking “God, I don’t want to go to school this semester. Is it too late for me to drop out? Can I do that?” And, of course, knowing “no, there’s no possibly way that I could not go to school this semester. There are other things (like El Theatre) that require me to be in school, that I want to continue doing.”
But, a few hours back into it, I realize, “it’s not so bad!”
I, already, have a lot of catching up to do. But, in a renewed spirit of optimism (excitement, even?), I realize that I can do it. I might even enjoy doing it.
And, refreshingly, I’m reminded, “oh, and this is why I’m getting a history degree. Maybe it’s not so useless. Or, if useless, at least it’s thoroughly interesting. And that’s something, right?”
So yeah. Go me. I guess I’ll stick it out for another semester and see where I’m at. Whoo! =)
less self reflection, more funny ha ha
