I'm not thrilled in the least about biostat at 830 am, but that's a class I have to take (they automatically signed me up for that; I'm not so insane as to sign myself up for a stat class at that hour). For those that don't know the specifics, I'm going to be working on getting my masters in public health at Emory in the fall in the Behavioral Sciences and Health Education department (I'll eventually have to pick a concentration from those 2). I get the pleasure of taking 13 credits only 3 days a week; the rest of the time I will be earning a stipend at an internship that Emory will help place me in.
Signing up for classes is further making this real for me. I still don't think the fact that I've graduated and am moving has fully sunk in, but I'm getting there. And I'm excited!!!! I thought I'd be freaking out that I'm moving so far away, to a place where I don't know anyone but I'm not. I'm so pumped for this adventure, for a chance at a fresh start. Coming from a school where so many of the kids I went to high school with also went, where I was constantly worried about running into my ex (and my past in general), I definitely crave this chance to restart. I say this because over 4 years I've definitely changed, and I need this change in scenery to really allow myself to show off this new person that I've become. It's hard to do that when you're constantly surrounded by people/places that remind you of the person you once were.
So bring it on Atlanta/Emory! Bring on the southern gentlemen! Bring on the biostatistics even!
