"big."

my last day before i go back to school...and i spend it sick and at home. as i do whatever i can to recover in time for class/clinical. i still remember being in the office of the student services director with my parents when we found out i would be going back in december 10 instead of september 30. the shock, the anger, the sadness...it was a lot to take in at one time. for almost three months, i have waited to make my comeback. it's been hard dealing with this situation on all levels. now...it's going to be very humbling since i will be seeing all my friends/classmates graduate before me...months ahead of me. it's going to be difficult balancing my life with school back in the mix again. some of my friends are married, some have children already, some are expecting children, some are going to grad school, others already have careers, and the rest are on the verge of starting careers within the upcoming year or so. i'm none of the above. that needs to change this year because it's that or nothing. as i mentioned in the last entry...tomorrow is the beginning of my victory. to win takes a lot of work, effort, and sacrifice. a boy tried making it through concorde before and didn't succeed, only to realize it takes a man to seize the win. a man is making his return tomorrow. growing up is troublesome, but staying the same is far more worse.
