School Daze

So, I got all registered for school yesterday. The whole experience was very surreal for me and I'm finding myself much more nervous now than I have been. I mean, I can't believe that in exactly 1 week, 2hrs and 27 minutes I will be sitting in a classroom for what will be my first college lecture in almost 11 years. I am just going part-time to start (and possibly until I finish) since I have to work FT as well this go round. I still have to get with my boss to make some alterations to my work schedule. I was hoping to be able to avoid that altogether but it looks like it's not going to happen. So, I'm nervous about that too. I just hadn't planned on all of these nerves what with all of the excitement that was clearly masking them. Plus, this PT gig is sure feeling like more than PT right now...I'm only going to have one completely free weeknight, on Friday, otherwise the other 4 are booked solid for the next 4-5 months. I will never be home. So, I'm nervous about finding time to study without that occupying all of my free time. I'd like to think my weekends could maybe be about something other than homework. I'll know more about course loads and such next week. The other things I'm nervous about are being on the U of M campus at night 3x's a week. I'm hoping the parking won't be too far away from my classes, but of course I was so tired and overwhelmed after everything yesterday that I didn't even bother to scope out where my classes actually were. I think I'll be taking a bit of a tour this weekend. Oh well...I'm in for the long haul now...here we go!
