In the Mail

My application for Shepherd's is in the mail. The application fee is only $30, but there is a sense of being committed now. I assume that I'll get in, but I don't want to count on anything or buy any books until I'm sure. All I do know is that I'm excited about how this is all going to play out. I'm excited about what I will learn. I'm curious about how I'll do this in a mechanical sense. Will I take notes in a regular notebook? On my PDA? On a laptop?

It's strange to think of myself as a student again. But that's what I aspire to be. And it's strange to think of myself as ever having another career. But that too is what I aspire to do. Wow.
