This time tomorrow, I'm sure I will be considering dropping out of college. Again.
Wednesday morning at 8:30, I will be back in school for the first time in over ten years. Can this old dog learn new tricks? It is a bit disconcerting to realize I will be sharing a classroom with people barely half my age. Seems the thing to do, though.
Since my older brother announced his wedding this spring, I've found myself taking stock of my own life. I didn't like the prospects of a retail manager, so I quit my job. I didn't like my prospects for alternate employment, so I'm back in school. I wasn't happy with my social life, so I've been more open and forthcoming, especially with women. Nothing's come of that last one, yet, but you've got to play if you want a chance to win, yes?
People who know me understand that I can be a misanthropic bastard. I realize, now, that I have absolutely no grounds to bitch if I am one of the underachieving, directionless morons who annoy me so. With that in mind, I bravely return to the world of higher education.
