"Bouquets Of Sharpened Pencils"

I'm registered for a class! One of the introduction classes to Library Science. I can only afford one right now because, even though Adele offered to help pay for school, it's just too short notice to ask her for any kind of large sum of money. So, I'm just going to pay for this one myself. It's an online class and only lasts from September 3 through October 27, so it won't be too time consuming or interrupt my daily schedules. I'm still not completely certain of how sure it is that everything is worked out and such, but if everything goes through, I'll be back in school in just a couple of weeks! I'm so excited. Like, way more excited than I thought I would be. I hate school, I always have, but I'm so ready this time. 

I'm formulating some big plans for myself and I'm going to do everything that I can in order to see them followed through! I do eventually want to get a Bachelors and maybe eventually a Masters. Where? I'm not entirely sure yet. There honestly aren't many options in California for degrees in Library Science, so I may be finding myself somewhere closer to home eventually ;) This Associates degree only requires 19 credits, so I can knock it out in a few semesters depending on how many classes I can take at a time. I was growing so tired of not having a clear picture in my head of what I want to do for the rest of my life, but now I feel that I am a little more secure in my plans. 

I'm so ready for Fall! I love Fall, it's my favorite season *sigh*. I just hate that I'll miss Fall in the South. This will be my first Fall out here and I don't know what to expect...I know that it will be much colder judging by how chilly it already is pretty much all the time. I just know that it won't be as beautiful as it is in Alabama. I know the leaves won't turn the same way, the smells won't be the same, but I'm sure it will be beautiful nonetheless. I'm still adapting and changing in accordance with the weather here and what clothing I wear, but I think being back in school will make Fall even better for me this year. It makes me want to go shopping for school supplies and new Fall clothes! But I'm poor, so I'll hold off on that. I just wanna stock up on sweaters, boots, scarves, paper, notebooks, binders, and bouquets of sharpened pencils (if you know where the "bouquet" reference is from, you win). Did I mention that I love Fall? 

There really wasn't much point to this post, I just felt like sharing the news of my return to school! I'm excited to have finally figured things out and about getting started again. I miss taking notes and just learning new things in general. If I didn't write in a journal regularly, I think I might have forgotten how to write all together. It's been so long since I've had to do anything like it, so I'm glad that I kept it up! haha :) As things unfold and develop, I'll keep you in the loop. I feel so all over the place emotionally and mentally, but I'm trying my best to keep myself grounded and in a realistic state of mind. Thanks for sticking with me through all of my changes and developments, guys!
