    Despite the feelings you might experience, I'd still suggest to ... go for it! It's understandable why you might feel some anxiety but once you have started it, you might find that you enjoy it and want to do even more. If you are thinking about auditing the course, there should be enough motivation/enthusiasm to carry you through it.

    In some ways, you are making yourself vulnerable because you don't know how it is going to turn out. There might also be a fear of 'what happens if I am asked to do something, and it's not good enough.' That doesn't matter because everyone in the course is there to learn something.

    Go for it. Give it a try. :slight_smile:

    I understand this. I'm in the same boat when it comes to going back to school and such. I'm currently in a state of apathay but I feel that has a lot to do with the wait time. New semester doesn't start till May 15, and it will be a year till I can transfer to a new school and get to my dreative writing degree.

    Just do it. Once you start you might find the motivation to keep on going.

    I went book shopping with a friend earlier. Impressed with the quality of some of the books they had, and I kept picking up books from the tables. Luckily the damage isn't all that great. :lol:

    My girlfriend has already seen Civil War twice. I hate her a little bit right now.

    We played Killer Instinct for hours until I had to kick him out the house. That was fun.
    Except for the part when I lost our last set 9-10 ¬_¬
    Also, I finally went I got a haircut, just 4 months after I said I would :rolle: As if I wasn't hot enough before...

    Well well well, guess where I just came back from :rolleyes:

    It was a good Saturday.

    It's time to do laundry and again try to organize my closet. I only wish clothes would magically get ordered and folded from the laundry room to closet.

    My mom had a housewarming party at her place. One of her old work friends came over. He's hot, presumably single, AND a proven member of our team. Talked about his ex boyfriend. Two problems? He knows me as his old boss's kid (which has to be awkward) and I don't know how he feels about trans men. But I took off my glasses and everything...

    --

    Got accepted to another one of my dream schools. But what do I choose? I have 3 colleges to choose from. Guess I'll just see what the financial aid looks like...
     
  11. I'm thinking where the hell this spider or beetle has ran off to! I just went to plug in my phone and felt something on my arm. When I looked, it just was this thing! I couldn't identify what the hell it was. All I can recall is that it was big and had a big back on it! :eek:

    Sometimes as a Christian, I just shake my head at all the bigotry, the homophobia and transphobia. I just have to say as Jesus did, "Lord help them, for they know not what they do." Part of me just wants to lash out and scream at them. When did someone pissing in the bathroom have to become a political issue?

    I hate the erasure of feminists within trans space. So. Fucking. Much.

    Is the idea that no trans or genderqueer people are feminist?

    I just realized how many pictures I have of my cat on this site. It looks like I may have an obsession with her.
