Saddle Up!
Do you remember being in high school, and how the thrill of beginning your senior year was almost too much to stand? But then somehow, about three months in, your veins began to crawl with that nasty, ruthless disease … senioritis.
In high school, you have some liberty to choose an elective or two each year, but beyond that your routine is basically set in stone. History of some kind, English of a sort, science in some manner; and, if you were one of the unfortunate, yet another math. Senioritis was a direct result of too much sameness, and everyone felt its drag.
What I love about the beginning of each CBU semester is that there is absolutely no sameness to be had. Every first week of school hands you that beautiful, terrifying thrill of all things new. For example, this semester I have an exciting blend of film, world religions and design awaiting me – in stark contrast to last semester’s toss of sociology, physics and typography.
This will be my first semester ever taking as few as 15 units, which is considered a normal, sane person’s load – but I figure wedding planning will add an additional three units worth of my time! I’m excited to have the opportunity to learn and grow yet again as a student this semester, soaking up the blessing of living the college life.
Saddle up, Lancers – around the track we go again!
