First Day of College


Wow, a new beginning has never felt so familiar, so I guess I should just call this an extension of my high school experience. If you're wondering what I'm going on about, I have just begun my college career at the highly accredited Grand Rapids Community College (this is meant to be a joke). It's enjoyable, but if you are looking for a complete left turn from the ho-humminess of high school, one might come up a little disappointed. Honestly I don't mind, I see community college as a simple diversion from the real deal if one didn't exactly excel in their previous years of education, or if the university route is simply too expensive. But for most, including myself, we see community college as a second chance to academically do well and make up for our shortcomings in high school. Its fine, two more years and I'll be off to"bigger and better" things.
Today is also marks my re-entrance into adult society. How scary! For the past three months, I have been in recovery from reconstructive foot surgery and was free of the "burdens" that school and work so willingly supply. Having no real adult obligations was fun while it lasted, but I am really ready to move back on out to the "real world."
Now that I'm home from the "big CC" (I think that's a decent name for it), I feel like booting up a nice warm cup of World of Warcraft. I'm a fan of the game, but I wouldn't say I'm exactly addicted. I feel guilty playing WoW because I am so close to beating Twilight Princess it's sickening, but everyone knows the pick-up-and-play accessibility that is World of Warcraft.
Hmm... a dilemma, well I think this calls for some hardcore thinking. Good day.
