Confirming the Confirmed

Eh. What is there to really say? Nothing...really. Today is the 12th, which means I have 14 days left. I leave on the 26th, even though I don't arrive in Connecticut til the 27th. Then, I'll catch a bus, courtesy of Smith College, and I'll enjoy three days with fellow bridgees. On the 30th, I will move in to my actual dorm. I'll go through Orientation. And on the 8th of September I'll start class.

Am I excited? Sure I am. Am I nervous? Of course. Will I do just fine? No, I'll do better.

It's all about confidence. Next to confidence there must be drive. Next to drive there must be skill. Confidence, drive, and skill. If you have all three, you're good to go. If you're missing one, you won't make it. Think of it as a tripod...you know, the contraption that holds a camera. If you are missing one of the three legs, the camera will fall because the tripod needs all three feet (hint: tri-pod!) to keep it and the camera steady and balanced. Just like a camera, you, too, will fall without all three. In your case, confidence, drive, and skill.

Anyway, I feel I embody those three traits. I've worked hard for this specific moment. I've been striving for this my entire life. So, it's going to happen. I am going to do it. I will succeed. Trust me.

So, what is there to really write about? I guess nothing. Just confirming what has already been confirmed.
