So I've been here for a week and I've finally had a chance to rest and catch my breath a little bit. It would be useless to say that this class is intense. If you think that you've got long hard days at your classes on campus, I'd love for you to come out and hang with us for a little while. Because it is rediculous. But you know what, I'm so in love with this class.
In summer 2002 I went to the Bahamas for broadreach and it was really the same kind of class. Tons of time in the field, lots of lectures, all in the space of a few weeks. Good times though. This class is basically broadreach for adults. And I saw adults because mostly all of us are 21 and over. This is my last term at OSU, and really I'm not even at OSU. I've completely detached myself from campus and right now I just feel like I'm having a lot of fun instead of taking an actual class. I'm learning so much, but it's so much fun at the same time.
I keep saying that over and over. How much fun this is. I've been really thinking that it's the first step in the rest of my life you know. That from now on the train has left the station and I'm just kind of hanging on for dear life some of the time, but that's a good thing right? That the adventure has begun and I have the tools necessary to live in this world on my own. That's a really scary part. But it's a good thing. That I could pick up and move from Oregon if I wanted to and I would be able to find a place to live, get a job, pay my bills, all those things that you have to learn how to do.
Well, this post is getting a little bit into the realm of sentimentality, but that's kind of how I'm feeling right now since I've had a chance to stop and slow down for a day or so.
