updates?

Well, I leave next week... and the end of this week is almost here. Funny how when Thursday hits, it all seems so much closer. I'm almost completely packed--there are probably a few things that I need to shove into my suitcase somehow, but not a lot. And not a lot can fit, either. O.o My only consolation is that I am packing for a long haul, including winter gear which is a bit bulkier.

Plane stuff is all taken care of, have my itineary sheet printed out. I hope I get to the airport soon enough to do check in and whatever security they have planned. And I have to do this at two other airports along the way. >_< If they can manage to get through my little suitcase with relative ease, and manage to get it back together before I get on the plane... ^^ Good luck to them. It's all carefully packed away in there so that all the available space is used. I just want to bring a few more of my notebooks with me, maybe another book or so, and I should be set. Now to find those other notebooks... ^^;

Have some college stuff taken care of as well. If I'm lucky, I might be able to take at least one class, so I don't feel like I'm totally going to pieces or being a waste. Working is fine, yes--but living in a college town for the next two years, without going to classes at all? I hate feeling like I'm behind. I know, I know that people 30 and 40 are in college. I don't want to be one of those people. I would like go graduate before I'm thirty. I wanted to graduate before I was 25. Considering I probably won't be able to start college again before I'm 23, 24? ARGH!

Finding a decently priced apartment out there is going to be the hardest thing--what I'm hoping is that in some of the student housing apartments a room will open up. People do drop their rooms, maybe I'll get lucky. *crosses fingers*

Yea! I hope you make it there allright. Ive been watching news reports about how airport security takes twice as long because of all the layoffs they've done so get there early!

i know what you mean about finding an apartment. Me and my roomate are aching to get out of the dorms-its horrid-and get an apartment. But its too expensive, and with the possibilities of transfering schools in the air its crazy.

Dont feel bad about graduating when your 30. I know some people at my school in thier 50s and 60s. There is one guy whos 61, and a freshman. THAT MEANS HE CAN RETIRE WHEN HE GRADUATES!

:)

Good Luck My Friend.
keep in touch.
Make sure you get my phone number and stuff.

Laz, I think people who work at the same time to support themselves through college are a whole lot braver than those who don't. Just because you're older doesn't mean you have to be smarter. It's why people at 30 and 40 are going through college; they didn't have the opportunity, or for some reason couldn't go before, and now they have the privilege to.

Don't feel left out because you're older and had to remove yourself from the 'herd' at some point. You're coming back to finish what you started, with a whole lot more worldly experience that a lot of those kids don't have. Regardless, you learned just as much as they did, if not more, but more about yourself, and the world around you. Sometimes, I think college is this closed little space where you're taught what other people know, and not what's out there.

Good Luck, Laz. You'll be fine.
