"Gotta Get Back To Hogwarts..."

Yup. It's back to school time! And I love it. I always have. The feeling of going to school, picking up school supplies, all that good stuff. This year I didn't even really need new supplies, but I bought some anyway. I love looking forward at the end of the summer to a semester full of new books, meeting new people, studying new things, new teachers etc.

It is scary though. It feels like yesterday I was starting my Masters program, and now here I am embarking on my last year of my formal education before I get a real job.

What?

Real job? What am I talking about, I am way to young for that.Old people get jobs. Not me. Salary? What's that? You mean some people don't just get payed by the hour?!? Weird.

No, next fall I won't be buying new textbooks, re-working my class schedule a million times, and feeling that nervousness and excitement that naturally comes as you embark on a new adventure. I'll be embarking on an even scarier one. If everything goes the way I would like it to, next fall I will be facing a classroom of kiddies, my own classroom.

WOAH. Now that's scary. Exciting and scary.

It will be interesting to see what this semester has in store for me. I have some goals set, now it is time to see where it leads.

I am really excited! :-)

And scared...
