Back to Big Rapids

I'm going back to Big Rapids today to get everything organized for class to start on Monday. I had a great vacation from pharm school, and it was wonderful to see family and friends again. I got to paint, draw, knit, write, and watch a ton of movies, but it's time to get back to business. Even though in a few weeks I'll be sick of homework and studying all over again, I'm eager to get through this second year and be on the downhill slide. School is my job--time to get back to it.

I'm really going to miss home a lot. :( I had a great time hanging out and talking with my brother, and watching movies with everyone. As much as I enjoy the privacy and independence that school gives me, there really is no place like home. I've never slept in a bed as comfortable as the one I grew up in, and I've never eaten food quite as tasty as the Mom's. Soon I'll be back under this roof for another summer of interning and remodeling the house.

As usual, I'm experiencing the Pre-Semester Anxiety (PSA) which always accompanies the last few days of a vacation. I always dread bad professors, difficult classes, and failing grades, but I'm trying to shrug it off this time. Last semester left me humbled, but I only have one terrible one left. Hopefully thinking about this will be enough to push me through with steam. :)
