Week one has come to an end and I'm not gonna lie; being back in school is the first time I've felt like I was doing something right in about 8 years. Even when I earned my first degree, my mentality at the time was that I was simply going through the motions so I could get my ticket to a salaried position as soon as possible. This time it's completely different. I'm finding new opportunities each day to take advantage of my time. Whether it's visiting the hospital to check on volunteer opportunities, or spending my free time in the library pounding away at practice chem problems; I am not having any trouble staying motivated.
The OSU campus has changed drastically in many ways but as I walk through the area from class to class, it almost feels like I never graduated. Buildings have been updated, kids who are 18 look like they are 12, and the SEL (Science and Engineering Library) is still overpopulated with indian and asian students. Fashion trends have changed slightly. Apparently having your jeans tucked into your boots is a must for social survival in the college world these days. The Boss Dogs carts are still in full force and it's nice to know that some things will never change.
My personal assessment of week one is positive. My energy levels are good though it has been emotionally taxing to make this change. I managed to get 2 work outs in and hopefully can get a 3rd in over the weekend. The class work is manageable so far which was a concern since I went with a full course load instead of starting off with 1 or 2 classes.
9 more weeks to go!
