There are so many wonderful things about this time of year. Pulling out the sweaters and Michigan hoodies, watching college football with good friends, leaves on the trees change colors, my DTE bill goes down (love that!) the list of this I love about fall just continues to grow. The one thing that fall always reminds me of is school. I have been out of college for 3 years now and I not doubt about it, I miss being a UofM student. Such a diverse campus, just sitting in the diag on a fall day there is everything from students tossing a frisbee, the acting students rehearsing lines from a play, students reading text books, silent protesters, not so silent protesters, just thinking about that makes me long for the days I spent not worrying about bills, dry cleaning and groceries. Last week, out of calculated impulse, I filled out my application for Wayne State's pediatric NP program. After I filled out the application John and I talked about it and right now is not really the best time for me to plunge back into school. Until he is at least in a residency program we are very reliant on my income, which is fine, but that does mean I do not have the ability to cut back my work hours. Not that I am ready to go back to the days of dedicating my off time to papers and studying but I am sad that I am no longer a student. I blame fall for this feeling of sadness. As much as I love this time of year, summer never leaves me with the feeling of wanting to go back to school, oh summer please come back!
On another note, it just sucks when the wolverines play football like they did yesterday :(
