Back to the Front

You will do what I say, when I say.
Back to the front.
You will die when I say you must die.
Back to the front.

OK, the start of a new school year doesn't fill me with dread and despair. It does, whoever, instill a bit of anxiety. I've been back in school for an entire year, gone to school for a little less than half my life, and a new quarter still brings a little tension. Tomorrow begins the new fall quarter.

Am I ready? Can I handle it?

The steady portion of my psyche, the one I always want to listen to, quietly reassures me that I have nothing to worry about. But there's that other part. Like a single, loud person in a crowded movie theater asking "yeah, but what if ..."

Once the quarter begins, I'm sure I will settle into an academic groove. My classes are firmly placed in my interest areas.

Japanese was a fun surprise last year, and I am looking forward to continuing. I think if I can find a nice Japanese girl to "practice" with, things will be even better.

Calculus and Technical Writing are pretty much requirements for my major, even though they are not listed as requirements. Calc leads to physics, which will probably be next quarter. Technical Writing will help with lab reports and written presentations.

Then there is the new job. That also starts Monday. I am a sort of tutor for the biology class I took this past summer. It's not much, but it will be nice to have my own spending money in my pocket.

So, tomorrow I boldly go where I have gone so many times, before.

I'm sure school will be just as fun and/or nerve wracking as it has always been.

Can I put in an order for a Japanese girl too? My attempts to learn Japanese from watching hentai have been largely unsuccessful. Live "practice" sounds like more fun anyway.

I hear that total immersion is the way to go with foreign languages. I don't know about that, but I'm sure hilt deep immersion can but help. At the very least you should learn some religious terms. Good luck in school (not that you'll need it) and with the study partners (this is where I'm focusing my well wishing karma. Such as it is.
