"You Are Here" Stickers Nowhere to be Found...

Columbia rushes towards me now. Less than 3 weeks before classes start, and I am forced to wait another week until I can even sign up for them. My whole routine is about to change. Obviously, this is fantastic considering that 78% of this blog has been devoted to how much I hated my routine since the end of 2003, but still...

I am about to study film... I have waited years for this. I have been looking forward to the day when I can say my occupation is "Student Filmmaker," but how fast is too fast when your future rushing towards you is concerned?

...

I need to get a computer before school starts... A good one. This will basically empty out my bank account, but it is something I will need. But do I get a desktop PC, or a laptop? Desktops perform better for what I will need but, being dependent upon a desk, they are not portable.

...Empty. Bankaccount.

I will be traveling via "L" again soon. I like this for many reasons.
1. Basically, I will be getting a daily tour of our little planet's greatest city.
2. No gas money required. (U-Pass pays for my transportation)
3. Becoming part of the city again like I was in high school.
4. Walking a few miles a day again also can't hurt.

This is going to be the greatest change of my life up to this point. However, it is a change nonetheless. I have gotten used to the awful parking situation @ Oakton, walking those halls, Lake Oakton, community theater, and being more a part of that school than most students who go there. That was pretty cool. Like high school, I experienced as much as I possibly could and got every little drop of worth out of it in my time there (and managed to keep an honors-worthy-GPA this time).

During my first year @ Oakton, I was always ashamed to say that I went there. I would be in a group of college students who would rattle off their school names and when it came to be my turn, I would hate the fact that I went to a community college... I'm glad that I learned to appreciate what I've been able to accomplish so far.

I hope that what I accomplish @ Columbia will turn out to be just as satisfying in it's own way in the end.
