go back to school

While looking for driving directions on Mapquest, I discovered the “aerial-satillite” view (I knew it existed, I just never bothered to check it out). If one types in an address, you can see an actual satillite view of the area. It was wild.

So after finding my house and other local places, I decided to put my college address (from when I went to Kent State) in there. I was surprised at how emotional I got looking at the campus. I found my first residence hall, the photo lab, the building in which I was an RA, my sorority house…everything. It made me miss Kent, Ohio, really badly.

before I can check this goal off my list, I should know where I want to go to school. I know I want to pursue a degree in psychology (and possibly minor in art history to support my artsy/creative needs), and later get my PhD. But…where do I start?

In state, or out of state? Local, or far away? Though my financial situation will probably keep me in state, and somewhat close so I can still live rent-free with my mum…I just want to be completely ready to go back to school. I want to have my moods under control, take my meds everyday and feel good for a good year – not because I’m a lazy drifter (I’m not), but because the last thing I want is to drop out of college again and put my whole life on hold because I had a relapse. I’m already not graduating with my peers – so why be in such a rush to jump in that deep end when I’m not entirely sure I can swim?

I just need this year; I’m inflating my floaties a little every day:)

I swear I can count on one hand how many times I needed to see my guidance counselor when I was in high school.

Four years out of school,
two colleges (looking for a third),
and a complete change in career choice.

Where’s Mrs. Ross (my high school guidance counselor) when I need her???

I wish I was back in school.

This is lame…and I am worthless.
