One Test, One Research Proposal, Two Portfolios and I will be done with college. I’ve spent the last several days attending my next to last week of classes and staying locked up in my bedroom to finish papers. I feel like all the time I’ve put in hasn’t really accomplished much, so I am hoping that over the course of the next few days I can get these things DONE. One week from day I will be attending my last day of classes here at Westminster. After that, it will be smooth sailing down to graduation.
Smooth sailing may not be the best choice of words. Really what the month of May is going to be is lots of alcohol and video games and sleep. But I am okay with that.
The end of this period of school feels so much different than four years ago when I was finishing high school. I’m not sure if I can attribute that to growing up some over my time here at Westminster or if it is because I just want out so badly. Either or, I don’t think the reality that I am practically finished here has sunk in yet. Whereas my last month at Waterford I felt it, now all I feel is relief that I will soon be done with all these papers. (Yeah I just used the word “whereas”. Deal with it.)
I fully expect there will be a lot of panic soon enough however. I have to find a job. A real job. That is a scary thought. Especially seeing how it may be eight months or longer before I get one. I went through the exit counseling for my loans this last week. I really didn’t need to see the break down of the money I owe for the next ten years. I don’t think when I started here, that I realized just how much money I was taking out in loans.
So I am just a few things away from the end. You ready world? Cause I am coming whether you like it or not.
