So, the drive back and forth from Tulsa to Norman is not sooo bad. In fact, I actually enjoy the drive --> it allows my mind to wander. I do tend to speed though. Typically I drive between 85-90 mph in a 75 mph zone... sooo no ticket yet (praying that I never get one). I found that driving at that rate of speed gets me to Oklahoma City in exactly 1 hour and once I hit city limits, it's smooth sailing. The only thing is, once I enter the city, I'm on the road for yet another 20-25 minutes.
I still feel far away from home every time I arrive in Norman. What strikes me the most is it seems as though the sun shines much brighter on this side of town. I still feel as though I made a really good choice to finish my last 2 years at OU. After all, this is the school I always desired to attend since 10th grade. I'm not so happy about commuting, but I have learned to adjust. It seems as though I am in and out all the time.
For this reason, I decided to drop all of my classes on campus and instead enroll in online classes. Boring, yes I know... but very convenient. I enrolled in all Women & Gender courses for the semester. Since this is my minor, I thought why not start with something different. That way, I can give myself a break from writing (can you believe that!) and find passion in learning the history of powerful women.
LAST WEEK - January 19, 2010
The Spring semester finally started at OU. So I logged into all 3 of my classes on the learn.ou.edu site and found welcome emails from both of my female professors :) I have 2 professors, one who teaches 2 of my classes and the other who teaches 1. Now girls, I know that this doesn't sound like the traditional FUN college experience, but wait until I tell you what else is on my plate for this year.
See next blog :)
