Tonight I applied for community college.
To be honest, submitting the application makes me nervous. Moreso now than when I was filling it out.
Going back to school -- and to a community college -- is a frightening thing.
I know how it all works at a four-year school. Or at community college when you're still living at home. But this is neither. It's foreign territory for me.
And it's for an Arts degree. Not just a Bachelor of Arts in things I can BS my way through for 3.5 years. It's two exhausting years of pinpricks and late-night sketching and trying to put a zipper in properly, a feat that, after fifteen years of sewing, I have yet to accomplish.
And there's still that little question of whether going back right now is the right thing to do -- or the thing I fully want to do.
I go back and forth. Daily...sometimes weekly.
But I've applied, and got that instantaneous response of "You're accepted!" that only happens with community colleges.
So now the rest just has to work itself out one way or another.
That is some VERY big news; I know what you mean about being scared. I'm excited to see this next step, no matter what direction it ends up going in. Sounds trite, but I know exactly where you are right now.
ReplyDeleteCongrats... that is so exciting. Sewing and fashion have always been things that escape me that I wish didn't. I am currently in the process of interviewing for graduate programs, and it definitely definitely feels like foreign territory to me, too. You can do it and I can do it, right? Good luck!
