"Moving"
I spent many months convincing myself that it was a good, financially sound, and safe idea to commute to school. After all, it's only every single day for a year, and then pretty much every single day for 14 months after that. I would only put 30,000 miles on the car (in the first year) and I would definitely love getting up at 5 am. I can be a morning person! It's only an hour drive (in theory and only on sunday afternoons and weekdays at midnight) and the traffic is predictable.
This PA journey will force me to change many things about my lifestyle. Mostly it will dictate when I sleep and when I wake, and what I do with my spare time, and what and when I eat, and how often I can go kayaking, and how much I can spend on everything, and that's all! These lifestyle changes are what worry me the most about school. I am used to being in charge of me, but now I'm going to have to let a lot of stuff go. Pretty much everything I've gotten used to in the last 10 working years of my life will be null and void. I used this argument against moving. Why add more stress?
Thankfully I have been talked off the ledge and will be moving into a townhouse closer to school with two highly motivated classmates. They will keep me on the straight and narrow and I will ask them to say things to me like: "Ellie, we have to study now." "Ellie, we have to go to school now." "Ellie, don't eat a dozen donuts from stress." "Ellie, you can kayak for 2 hours and THAT'S ALL." "Ellie you can play halo for 30 minutes."
Oh god, what have I gotten myself into.
