college again
College. I haven’t been here for a while. I’m here at a community college sitting outside my girlfriend’s classroom waitihg for her history class to finish. I can hear most of what her professor is saying. They’re learning about the American revolution and I hear names like Thomas Payne and Madison. It makes me wish I was still a student. I like learning new things and having my mind challenged. It makes me feel intellectual. I can hear Susan’s professor pouring his heart out trying deperately to make a connection with the students who are checking their watches and wondering what they’ll have for dinner. I want to knock on the door and tell him that at least one person is excited about the fact that the "Great Awakening" allowed people to think for themselves and challenge the religious and governmental institutions. I’m a student again and this time I’m paying attention if only for this evening outside Susan’s classroom. I always thought that education careers were for suckers. I have one now and I kind of like it. I want to be this professor and listen to him at the same time.
