What everyone's been waiting for...
an update!
haha probably not really, but I thought I would. The summer (now that I can reflect on it) was not that bad. I wanted to go places, but for the most part, I worked and saw a lot of movies. I guess that is acceptable. I'm now in my final year of undergraduate schooling, and I feel like the real world is right around the corner. Everything that I have been waiting for, planning for, learning for will be put to use as soon as I walk across the stage, right? Probably not. Odds are I might manage a Pita Pit and rake in the big dough. haha that $42,000/year job I've been waiting for my whole life. However, alot of my thinking was changed last wednesday when my advisor told me that a 3.34 GPA was very acceptable to get into grad school, and that I shouldn't have to pay anything for it. I love to go to school, but I hated paying so much for it. If I can really go without paying, there are so many more options for me that I would like to pursue rather than get a full-time job. I'm definitely willing to go to Cleveland State or John Carroll or Baldwin Wallace for full-time undergraduate work for free, but what if I receive offers from DC or Seattle or Williamsburg? I might want to go there! I might not though. I would love to leave, but I definitely have a fear of being that far away from everything I've basically known. I have traveled places before, but there was always my house on Lorimer to return to when I was finished. Leaving to somewhere more than an hour or two away might really put a cramp in the way I live. I guess I'll see within the next 7 months!
All of my classes I find really interesting - except for my introduction to creative writing. That class (I do not think) will be fun for me. I'm thinking about dropping it because the first day we had class, we read silently for a half hour or forty-five minutes, and then came back from a break and read aloud to each other. I thought it was ridiculous. I can read on my own time, and I thought I would learn while I was in the class, or at least do something different. At least I have alternatives to still complete my two majors and three minors. I think that could help a lot in my pursuit of going to do post-graduate work.
I like my room a lot more than last year. I have bought some paintings and posters and was given pictures to hang on my walls this year, and I've taken every opportunity to do so. I also bought a new comforter and have new clothes for the year. So far the year is starting off right. My room mates are actually making breakfast for other people and its exciting to see such community life in a seemingly isolated environment. I'm thinking more about trying to become really involved and stay a few more weekends here just because it's my last one here. I am determined not to be a fifth-year here, and I know I do not need to be.
Maybe I'll drop my creative writing class and try to write creatively here for now.
Hope you enjoyed this!
