Decisions, decisions:

For someone who was not a big fan of school when she was younger, I’ve been going to school a lot the past few years. It’s not because I’m fond of studying because I’m not, nor is it a desire to feel young again because I’ve always felt young. It’s because I have difficulty deciding what to do with my life that’s causing all this matriculation. So now, I’m back to school again and have decided to enroll in a community college instead of a university. I thought about what to do for months and months and months… I really wanted to go to San Jose State (SJSU) for my graduate studies but I also wanted to go to De Anza to get an associate or at least a certificate in early childhood education. A decision had to be made and I suppose it was made easier by the fact that my I-20 from SJSU got lost somewhere between California and Manila.

From Manila to California on a student visa:

Getting a student visa was a breeze compared to what I went through at homeland security when I entered San Fo. I HATE MY PASSPORT! Let me write this again for emphasis, I FUCKING HATE MY PASSPORT!!!

School Orientation:

I attended school orientation this week and I have another week to go. I also took my placement tests in Math and English and I’m so ashamed to admit that I can barely remember Algebra. I used to LOVE Algebra and I always got As in Math during college, the only problem is the last time I attended an Algebra class was 13 years ago. It’s a good thing I have no math pre-requisites for my major. Whew!

Relating to kids almost half my age:

No problem so far! I whine a lot about getting older but age is just a number and it’s a good thing I have the emotional maturity of a turnip so it’s no problem talking to and relating to students who are more than a decade younger than me. Let’s see how things go when school starts though, I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
