Hello--

Well a few things have changed since the last time I posted. The application process went so well that I am actually starting school November 21st, 2011. I am unbelievably excited and scared all at the same time. I am looking forward to learning something new and fun but I am so scared of the financial half and the grades. I almost forgot that school involved grades until I was required to take an orientation course online for my school and at the end of it I was required to take a test and then in turn, received a grade. Weird. I understand that grades are part of school but this whole time I have just been looking forward to the education and doing the work, I didn't think about the fact that my work that reflected my education would be labeled. That, yep, that scares me. I am eager to learn but afraid to...well, fail. Imagine that. It is funny to me how everything life comes back full circle. I have found many times in my life that I was afraid of disappointing someone or failing. Most of my life I have been afraid of what other people will think and honestly, I am tired of it. I want to do my own thing and be my own person. I want to be the person I am and not be afraid of someone looking down on me. Here goes nothing...
