So I’m going back to school in order to decide what in the hell I want to do. Another Masters, another degree or a PhD?

I’ve had this snippet of ::get a 5 year plan:: rolling around in my little head for some time now. There’s not much else going on in there, anyway (except recently when I purchased three pairs of shoes, two pairs of pants, two tank tops and a shirt in the course of two hours from five different stores), and so I figured I would get started on something. That ‘something’ turned out to be school.

I love “Campus” in its great Platonic essence. It makes me comfortable and it excites me and challenges me and makes me walk faster and smile to myself and wave at random strangers while I trip because that’s just inevitable. Tonight ON CAMPUS, I start my first class in which we discuss:

Globalization in its political, economic, social and cultural dimensions. The relationships between globalization and politics; new roles of the Nation-state, international organizations & social movements.

I bought a shiny new book to write in and even a new pen. I also bought the two books for our assigned readings, and I’ve already read them because I’m weird that way. It took everything out of me not to buy sweat pants and a t-shirt, a hoodie and a matching baseball cap that were covered with “University of Ottawa” emblems. I’m not even really certain why I was so drawn to these items, or giggling like a psycho while I ran my hands over the ‘U’ and the ‘O’, but I was. And there were cameras, I’m certain. I’m sure I was talking to myself too.

I’ve decided that I will simply paint a large U on my right cheek and a big O on my left cheek. This will help me make friends ON CAMPUS. I’m also going to start wearing a lot of huge sweaters as a shout out to Felicity and in an attempt to find my own personal Ben Whispers Covington.

I CAN’T WAIT TO HANG OUT IN THE LIBRARY ON CAMPUS!
