My life at the moment

Today, my last semester of college began, and I felt as if I was in a fuzzy dream the entire day. The kind that when you wake up, you are dazed and confused. But I have to face the facts, that today actually happened, and that May 21st is actually coming, and way too fast.

I am an English major with a minor in Journalism, and you would think, at this point in my educational career, that I would be able to read a book in my sleep, write a paper in an hour while watching TLC and eating some Special Dark hershey's chocolate, and let the stresses of class just roll off my back. Nope.

Last night I had a midnight freak out about my life. It happens every semester, every year. You get a break and eventually have go back, but that night before never gets any easier. It is like when you were little, and getting ready for the first day of the new school year. The mixture is a blend of nervousness and excitement. I've realized that those emotions remain exactly the same. The only difference? Instead of new classmates, seeing old friends, etc., we worry about..Am i going to finish this thesis on time? How am I going to get all that reading done? How on earth am I going to survive??

I am currently applying to grad schools in New York City, but am also searching for internship opportunities for the summer. Taking it one step at a time, not sure where I will end up. Job? Two more years of acadamia? Who knows. I can't wait to find out...but then again, I can. I want to soak up this last bit of college life, enjoy the time I have to be care free (sort of) and take whatever comes my way. Readyyy...Break!
