the time is ticking away, and monday i embark on a journey that will most assuredly change my life. I am starting back to school (full time). if i haven't mentioned it before - i'm sure i probably have but i don't feel like looking - i am going back to wvu for a second bachelor's degree in human nutrition and foods - wowza. a long time ago when i was going round the first time, i entertained for a nanosecond that career path - but the thought of me, fatty mcfaterson in those hn&f classes sent a shiver up my spine. i'm still fatty mcfaterson, but i guess part of me is more brave, and part of me is a little bit less self conscious.
of course, fear of the white hall big lecture room foldy-down butt-squeezing seat is not the only reason i'm nervous...there is also that big horrible word that noone wants to experience f.a.i.l.u.r.e.
a thousand questions, potential problems and potential outcomes are playing themselves out in my head and i'm trying like anything to remember my stress management techniques and take some deep yogic breaths....but it all comes down to one statement: i hope i have made the right decision.
