Hey girl! Big Hugs to you!!! Way to go, and so glad you are doing this for YOU! Take a little time to get to know the campus, and plan ahead based on your water and any food needs while you will be there. You may have to go buy you a lunchbox!!! ;)

This whole post is awesome. School! Weight loss! Cheddar Bay Biscuits! Flowers! Wow. I hate re-losing weight too, but it seems to happen to me every two weeks or so I will have a mess up day and gain 2 or 3 pounds. But I think that weight usually comes of pretty quickly and then some. I hope you keep having post like these :)

This entry makes my heart smiles. I am so glad orientation went good! I was thinkin about you all day yesterday because I remember my freshmen orientation 3 years ago... OMG I thought I was gonna die my mom kept text me to make sure I was still on campus because I actually phoned her crying because I was so worried about it... there were over 2000 students on campus that day for orientation so it was a bit overwhelming add to that I was 26, never been on campus and had no idea where I was going or who I was supposed to be meeting it was a major melt down lol

Glad you recorded this. you can look back at it and think about what a wonderful day it was for you. Your P sounds like a real keeper and you must be so proud to have someone care for you in such an obvious way. The simple fact that you have gone back to school is a true milestone. You will have great confidence very soon and not be nervous at all. The realization that you are doing something so wonderful for yourself and something that so many people wish they could do but never actually do will HIT and a truely self confident student will emerge :)
I hope that you know that you are doing a wonderful job and that you will achive great things. An education is never a waste and to be able to force yourself back to a campus is a huge success. The strength that this takes is something you will always know you have. Great Job!!!

Yay!!! Congrats on pushing through your anxieties about school & going for it! Also glad to see that once you got there, you realized some of the things you were nervous about you didn't need to be (like being the oldest person there lol). Totally awesome that your P has your back like that. Excited to hear how classes go!

Yes our campus is HUGE.. I can't even remember how many students they said. I am a pretty shy person and that many people just makes me freak out so bad.

Thank you Elizabeth, Kat and kendra! I'm so excited to start! I felt so good working through my anxiety yesterday. Sometimes you just have to walk through it and hope you come out good on the other side. =) Pixi~ I'm really shy too, and when you are by yourself and don't know ANYONE it is so overwhelming! I'm going to go early on my first day and scope out the lay of the land and find my first class. I'm a little worried the chairs are going to be small, so I'm gonna get in there early in case I have to find a chair that 'fits' me.

Dawn, congratulations on school, and on passing up the cookies and pizza and doing great at dinner. You should be really proud of yourself for doing the school thing again. Something tells me you'll get way more out of it this time!

I think it's so cool you're going back to college. What are you majoring in? If I were to go back, I really think I'd study nutrition. So nice of your girl taking you out for dinner and flowers and a card waiting at home, too! Very cool.
