This is the third time I've been to school. The first time was a little neat cause it was a new experience, but eventually without knowing what I wanted to do, I quickly became tired of it and dropped out. The second time I thought I knew what I wanted and it was interesting (even if it was Accounting), but then after two part time semesters I stopped. This time, I was going for HVAC and I have never convinced myself to go to class as often as I did during this past year. There were plenty of days when I just didn't feel like going (though to be fair I think a couple of those I ended up not actually going), but for the vast majority of those times I went anyway because I had a group that I hung out with and I actually enjoyed going to class. I have a second year to do and I'm looking forward to it even though I just finished the last year.But of course even though I overall enjoyed it, it was still school and sometimes school is just blah because it's school and for no other reason than that.And now I know WAY more than I did at the beginning of the year. I know I still have plenty more to know. A friend is asking if I can help replace a boiler that is not good any longer. It's interesting looking at it because I know enough to vaguely understand it and I'm hoping I know enough to kind of fiddle it out. Class didn't quite prepare me for THIS! So she understands that I just finished my first year and that my knowledge is not as much as a person who has been doing it for years, but she believes in me. As for me, a part of me has doubts, but the other part is trying to look at it like a puzzle and I tend to enjoy puzzles. But if it ends up being too much for me, she'll understand. Just doing this though until I find some real work. Whew.</blockquote>
