Yeah... this thing called college. It's about to take over my life and consume every last fiber of me.
Yep... amazingly enough, the time has come. I move into the University of Minnesota campus on Saturday, which by my count is only two friggin' days away. Excited? A little. Nervous? Oh heck yes.
I guess if you've talked to me at all the past few months or have even read my stupid blog enough, you'd know how immensely worried I am about it. It's probably mostly because I'm the biggest worrywort in the world, but I'm going into a completely new environment. I'm making the transition from being homeschooled, to going to a school with who knows how many people. Making the transition from living in the middle of nowhere, to living in the largest city in the state. Making the transition from living in my comfortable room with only my family, to living with a complete stranger inside a dorm with hundreds of other complete strangers. Ick.
But enough about that. Why I'm worrying about college isn't necessarily what the topic's purpose is for. I just had to rant a little about it anyway. I guess my point for this stinkin' topic is about my status at this little place.
So yes... I'm not leaving for good. Well, not yet, at least. I'll still be around and try to resume my duties as super moderator extraordinaire and all. But you should be seeing a lot less of me around here. Or should I say: you better see me on a lot less.
Not that I've grown to intensely dislike everything and everyone around here, but I'm going to hate myself forever and ever if I sit at college all the time and just waste the supposed best years of my life at a computer screen. Which is probably what I will end up doing, but still... I have to make some concerted effort to, you know... HAVE A LIFE. Which isn't really possible with how much I use the internet now. (it's quite pathetic, really...)
So in essence, I'm going to scale back, I want to scale back, I *need* to scale back here (and other web sites as well). I might waste all of my time here anyway, so please, if you do spot me spending inordinate amounts of time on the forum, yell at me... or kick me... or threaten to eat my children or something. Seriously. It might do the trick...
(Note: I *could* put this into the Pineapple, but since it sort of pertains college in addition to my supposed "semi-retirement", I put it in Everything Else. Ha.)
