As the young scholars of today rekindie the flame of the lamp of knowiedge, 1 can't help but feel a littie wistful. I completed my educationai career two years ago. The first September following coliege graduation, I could flot help but feel the elation that'comes with knowîng that I did not, once again, need 10 retum to1 the dimly lit halls and musty classrooms where 1 had spent-thebetter pant of my life. The joy gave way 10 restlessness. To queli my desire 10 retum 10o class, 1 decided a night school course shouid do the trick. 1 decided that I needed to learnta new language. Thus, I now know how how 10 say "Please", "Thank-you", "My pants are green" and "I will have a beer", un Germai'. Somehow this simply did not quench the eternal thirst for knowiedge. For the past year and a haif, since making the remarkabie discovery, that I actually MISSED being in the sacred halls of higher education, 1 have relentlessly toyed with the idea of returning tb school. find myseif now turning g reen with envy as my friends returne d to their hallowed halls across the country. And t0 my younger sister's friends who are just now beginning to gel their first taste of life in the worid of post-secondary school. "They are sucking deeply the marrow of life and letting it drip from their tongues." I can't help but feel left behind. As though every year the candie that is knowledge and wisdom becomes a little more extinguished. I realize that there is plenty to be learned from life itself, but it is the classroom, the professor, the open exchange of ideas within a closed environment that I miss each year come September. Two years ago the feeling was a tiny pinprick. Simply the feeling that I would flot be returning t0 life that 1 had grown to know and to trust; realizing that 1 was going t0 leave behind something that had been my life for fifteen years. Recently il has been a growing feeling, starting a few months ago and peaking at tbis instant with the first crack of the binding of a new textbook. The feeling may come to pass. Perhaps I just take longer 10 adjust to the working world than others. Or corne next September perhaps The ivy wails of the some near or distant campus will find me in itfs midst. As for my friends that are returning to scbool, il is those of you that have decided to become professional students that 1 find most endearing.
