rural commute
i drove out to statesboro today.
everything is set for my job, and from august 1-august12 i can work as much as i want, but then once school starts it goes down to 20 hrs. the bad thing is i dont get my first paycheck until august 22nd!
i'm nervous about the job.
i just hope i'm ready for all of this. school/work/work. it's going to be absolutely insane. i wish i could quit starbucks, but there is just no way it's possible. but in addition to my job at school, i'll be working 20-30 hours at starbucks, and taking 9 hrs of classes. that doesn't even include the research i'm supposed to be doing OR the school work in preparation for the classes. Yikes.
i need to live it up during the few weeks.
as i was driving the 40 miles there (every time it has taken me EXACTLY an hour to get from my house to the parking spot on campus) i was thinking how annoying the drive would get. but it is actually kind of relaxing. well, at least the 10 miles it takes to get from 16 to statesboro is.
it's all farmland, which i really have never seen much of. some houses, and a few antique stores. i think it will be sortve neat to watch as the crops grow. there's even a huge field of sunflowers. i drove around for about an hour, in a huge circle around all the farms. it really fascinated me, but i don't feel like i'm getting the words out right.

i feel ya. i used to get in my car and drive places all the time, mostly by myself.
i'd preselect destinations,so it would have some sort of purpose, but it was really the time in the car that i enjoyed the most. if you look at it that way it wont seem so daunting.
