revolead Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 I'm finally home, thank God. One year of college finished. Went very well, didn't seem that hard to me. Thank you to everyone here for your support and care. Now, I have a summer to do nothing, although I will be intensly scouring the town for a job. Hopefully I'll find one so I can build that guitar I wanted to. Hope everyone else is well. At least the weather here is nice. It was in the 80s today. Shut up and play.

Compact Diss Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Congrats! Man my first year of college was great and I'll never forget it, it was actually very easy....then the next semester began.... I hope your writing career takes off. I wish you the best. Keep writing!! I still have my college papers I had to write for English class, I was one seriously messed up person, it's great to read them sometimes, don't throw that stuff away! You will get a good laugh in a few years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A String Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Good to hear you got your first year under your belt! Of course it's always good to get home, no matter where you're coming back from. Have a great summer, get lots of rest and I hope your second years goes as well as your first!

Dak Lander Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Ah Grasshopper. You can never really go back home. You've left the nest for a new life and direction. You can't make the U turn. Your experiences during that first year have put you onto another path from which there is no return. The visit and the respite will be nice, and fulfilling in many ways, but, it's no longer home. It's more like a rest stop or base camp from where you'll stray farther as time, and experience allows. After a while, you'll find your new "home". In the meantime, savor the familiar surroundings & learn more from them. Great job in completing the first leg of your journey in such a fine style.

Tedster Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Dak's right. Set your sights on the bright future ahead...kick academic ass...and all that stuff. What the hey, you can always call it "home" if it makes you feel comfy, but, you know that something else is waiting in the future. And, hopefully a bright one. Kansas City seemed like it got well into the upper 80s today...it was toasty. But a beautiful day. I spent it outside, don't know where the time went. Got stuff to put a place to pitch horseshoes in the yard...got some Sakrete ready mix to put in my wife's clothesline poles...rope for a tar swing (that's "tire" for the northerners out there). And then I spent the evening with my grandson, chasing him around the yard, giving him a ride on the lawn tractor...and then the best part, a big ol' campfire, roasting hot dogs and marshmallows..just a beautiful night.

Thomas Wilburn Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Congrats, Rev. Take it from someone who is just now leaving college--be sure to make the best of the next three years, and stuff them full of useful internships while you can probably still afford to work for free. The job experience will be a lifesaver when it comes to entering the journalism field. Four String Riot the myspaces, we hates it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revolead Posted May 8, 2004 Author Share Posted May 8, 2004 Thanks, everyone. I'm not regressing or anything. It's just good to be back with old friends and to be able to drive again. The career already seems to be off to a good start. I got into the journalism school as a freshman, which is pretty unique. They usually only take about 5% of freshman applicants, so I'm excited. The journalism school has a built-in internship for credit that you have to have to graduate, so I'm not worried about that. And right now I get to be managing editor for a small conservative magazine on campus, so that's cool. It doesn't pay, but experience never hurts. Shut up and play.
