Toto, I'm not in college anymore!
Nothing like a warm fall day, leaves turning colors, light breeze, and a nice smoldering leave fire to remind me of fresh starts. The first days of the new academic year. Feeling refreshed and energized to start a new set of courses and life on my own....err wait. I'm not in college anymore!
But oh, how this time of year make me yearn for those free-of-responsibility times. And of course the parties. Old faces, new faces, and damn good times before the final exam crunch and the rusty old relationships of the future.
Call me scholastic. Call me stupid. I would live in academia if I could. That is, if someone would hire me to teach without a completed Masters and/or PhD. I LOVE academia--classrooms, textbooks, critical thinking. All the stuff that makes college, college, and so much NOT like the real world.
Pardon me while I go back to daydreaming and my hot cup of cider...
