"The more sophisticated the game, the more sophisticated the opponent." - Jake Green, Revolver

So, okay, I've been stressing and racking my brain about how my schedule, maybe even my life may change in less than a month....

I know, it's still school, and I've been through that before..but it's a different breed, it a level of sophistication that I've never been placed in before. The stakes are way higher this go around, but the prize is also more sweet. Only the strongest survive in this point of the game.

But besides all that doubt and nervousness, I'm still SO EXCITED that school is starting on the 2nd... lol. I don't know what's wrong with me: Is it the uncomfortable lecture chairs that you're forced to sit in, the heavy text books you get to lug around campus, the late nights up with French Vanilla flavored coffee, Hazelnut creamer, and three teaspoons of sugar.... ah, what is it that I love so much???! :). I guess I just love learning new things, testing new things, finding out what's right and why, and what's wrong and why, and then trying to do something to fix it! A big part of me can't wait to start TA'ing for someone and creating and grading tests and quizzes and stuff.... a smaller part of me is afraid of the social solitude grad school will require.... but it's worth it.. big time! Oh, I can't wait...just a few more weeks, ha, then listen to what i have to say then -- I'll be "man, look at all this I have to read!!" - lol.
