Topics I've Started

Fall 2012ers: How are y'all feeling?

20 July 2012 - 01:49 PM

I'm preparing to move halfway across the country in just over a week. I have nothing packed, have to make careful decisions regarding which of my precious books get to come with me, and am altogether just not at all ready to leave. On top of everything, I fairly recently got into a serious relationship that is now going to have to continue long-distance for at least a year and is kind of tearing me apart. I'm excited about school, but it still seems so far away that I'm less in the anxious anticipation and more in just the anxious stage!

How is everyone else feeling about starting fresh?
