Dr. Kori?

I'm not great at updating, unfortunately. I type all day at work, and the last thing I want to do is type more when I get home.

I guess I'll have to get used to it, as I'll be a doctoral student in the fall!

When I was going to be a freshman in college, I was so nervous, but really excited to start. I kind of feel that way all over again, but this time, nervousness outweighs the excitedness. I don't know if I'll be able to keep up - how will I pay for this? - how can I continue to work AND do practicums? - how can I afford to live off of practicums and internships that pay less than my co ops did? - how will I keep my relationship going with Mike? - What about my bills?

It's scary to chase a dream, but I'm just going to dive in and let things take their course. I know I'll be successful, I just don't want to be in the poor house doing it.

Unfortunately this blog isn't terribly introspective, but I think anyone can image going back to your 17/18 year old self and going back to school for the first time.. now imagine doing that, knowing what you do at 25/26. I'm so glad I was so naive back in the day.

It's a weird process, growing up. Having the engagement talks with your boyfriend, budgeting, bills, realizing that your decisions now really impact your life...

Sigh.
