"Growing up" is so goddam weird. Life is so strange.

*sigh*

So the good news is that I placed in the highest writing class possible and successfully registered for my classes today. I was so worried about not being able to get the classes that I wanted because freshman have to register last, but what I didnt realise is that most people want online and night classes. So almost every class I wanted had plenty of room.

The reading/writing placement test was so easy it was funny at times. I actually laughed out loud (lol!) at some of the questions (other testers didnt seem to get the joke). When I handed my scores to the girl at the front desk she looked shocked at how well I did. I could just hear the thought in her head "This bitch can read? I did not expect that!" Actually, she seemed genuinely happy for me that I did so well.

This is actually the most important thing to me right now. That I am making the decision to take on a pretty intense program, wrestle its ass to the ground, and conquer it in two years. I am so glad that I get to do this at a time with little to no other distractions. Of course, I do love my social life, and I would be lying to myself if I said that school isnt going to be a total bummer in that area at times. BUT! Tons of people pull off school and socializing (and work!) at the same time, so I know I can too.

On the other hand, dating. Jesus H Christ on a bicycle. Dating is torture. Why do people do this to themselves on purpose? I miss the straight-forward-ness of a comfortable relationship. I miss being fairly certain that I am not bat shit crazy on a pretty consistent basis.

I should stop there.
