TOW: School...Again?!?!?!

Tomorrow I start school in Public Relations....for what is the third degree/diploma/random piece of paper to show how amazing I am, etc. and even though I have 'started a new year' approximately 6-7 times, I'm still nervous about my first day, and yes-I-DID-pick-out-an-outfit-for-the-first-day-thank-you-very-much. And no, I don't have everything organized, because I've been working like crazy these past weeks at my other job(s) so it's been just too too much.

Sigh.

But, looking back on my previous school career, I am really, really, going to try and turn this into something that makes me happy/keeps me eating. So, I have devised ways to make this happen:

i) Lots of studying
ii) lots of planning in advance (Nail that internship! Turn in best work for classes, not night-before-garbage! Create amazing portfolio!)
iii) Treating this like it is a step I need to take into a career, not a bubble that will save me from the world for approximately eight months.
iv) Taking steps I need to make sure I compliment this year with other educational opportunities, like classes, seminars, and valuable volunteer opportunities.
v) Making sure that I also take time out to do things I really like, thus making this a valuable life experience, and giving me the energy I need to be happy, and succeed. Like working with youth, nights where I sketch and do art, and blog, as well, since I love doing this.

Sounds like a plan, right?

We'll see if I'm a motivated man come December.

Because heaven knows...student life...is so nice. I can't help it, I really do love it, and it makes me lazy. Sigh.

I have been thinking a lot about this, and I'm really blessed that I'm starting school three months earlier than I planned. Originally, I was supposed to start in January, but I guess I was on the wait list, and it actually worked out just fine for me. But, we'll see if I can handle this crazy college lifestyle.

I dunno, dude friends!
