My College Classes Start Today

[Lady of Longbourn]

I haven't been in college in almost a year now and Monday was my first trip to the campus since last Spring.

I am feeling optimistic and so is my therapist who seems very happy for me. He told me that he thinks I was "made for college" and today said that he thinks I am "doing excellent".

I am trying to remain level and not have to many expectations straight in. I am hoping to be able to take this semester one step at a time. I will be taking two normal load classes (3 credits) and one 1 credit course, mostly for fun and becasue I like the teacher. I am also taking classes that I know I like; 2 English courses and one history course.

Hopeful and I think a healing step in my journey. I hope it goes well later today.

Great achievement getting into college. I hope it goes well for you too. I think it's a great step in your journey. I also thinking remaining level, as you put it, is a good idea too. It does sound like you're doing excellent - and what a lovely sounding T. He sounds almost proud of you in a way Ayesha (edit: maybe that is because he is).

Good luck today at college.

Congratulations on starting college. I agree with rainy_daze here, your T sounds pretty proud of you. Awesome that he is so supportive of your new journey.

I'm sure you will enjoy it. Good for you for taking a few courses you know you will like.

All the best to you with your classes, Ayesha!

Oh dear, I didn't really think about that. I can see it now with everything he has been saying recently. Proud of me?! Me?! :x3::x3:

I'm sure college will go great. Just take it one day at a time, and enjoy yourself. You'll succeed, I have no doubt :D

Well, one issue is that I get competitive with grades but I'm trying to not focus with stressing out about that. I love proving to myself that I am in fact smart.

So far it's great. I overslept just a bit and then struggled with shaking off the drugs that knock me out. I dressed in a nice comfortable sweater and soft make up. I left a bit later then I wanted but got there on time with two mintues to spare. Not a big deal but I like to calm and recharge first which requires me to arrive earlier.

I've had this teacher before and she does seem to like me. The class was going over basics of was expected followed by a small essay about ourselfs. I was a bit sleepy (annoying) because of sleeping late and meds.

Now, I have almost two hours to eat lunch before my next class. I picked a sand which and soup with coffee and I'm writing this. It's crowded and no husband with me but I'm doing just fine and enjoying the social time. !! I even got myself a heart shaped pink cookie.

I am wondering if I should get an iPad because its lighter then my mac laptop. I am unsure if we can afford that though. I might be able to borrow one of my husbands who has two from work. Hmm...

Thank you all for the support! @cherryblossom @Unraveling1 @macca @mytai @rainy_daze and all who liked my first post. It means a lot and I am sure I will have more to share after history. I love history but have never taken the college course. Really curious about it.

 

[Lady of Longbourn]

Therapist proud of me. :x3: Still can't get that off my mind. I know he is happy and I guess proud of me being staff here. He bring it up a lot and even wrote that to my pyschtrist trying to show her my creditably as a good patient to have. I know he loves the progress I have been making. He is very happy about how I am thinking of and working through so much.

My husband said I can use one of his iPads! That's wonderful and saves us lots of money.

The heart shaped cookie sounds :hungry:.

That's great about the iPad :), and making it there on time, and managing to look nice and feel comfortable, and everything. I'm glad your first day went well. One day you might feel a little less :x3: and more :D about your T being proud. Compliments can be hard though, maybe. It sounds like you deserve that feeling from him though, very much. Well done you.
