SO the semester is FINALLY over. There are both good and bad things to go along with that...
good things:
*I only have summer/ fall left before i get the hell out of here :)
*Scott graduated and went to Alaska so i dont have to see him at work ever again (btw, let me just add that he won southern Adventures employee of the year which i thought was crap but i guess if you suck up to the right people you can get whatever you want. i only say that b/c i feel that there were other people that deserved it more like Doyle but whatever.)
I am happy he is gone and for the summer i wont have to see his sorry ass anywhere. His g/f is still here so i am sure at somepoint he will be back. hopfully after i am gone...
* school is going to be longer but also shorter, some times i wish i could do summer semester all the time just to get the crap over with
* Grade money from grandpa, so i didnt do as well as i hoped b/c of a few points here and there but its still more money than i had before so i really cant complain
* more time to work, but the problem with that is there is really no where good to work here and there are os many poeple here at work for the A term. Kind blows...
* roomates are going on study abraod trips for weeks at a time! :) dont get me wrong they are cool i just need breaks here and there...
Bad things
* all my favorite classmates left (graduated!) and i should have been there with them but i guess everything happens for a reason. Some of them are still here for the summer but not as many as i would like
* gas prices... erin and joe are gettimng married and i cant go b/c gas is so fliipin expensive and i cant go visit my sister in colmbus either
* bordem... i am just waiting for it to sink in. I know i shoudl enjoy it since its my last summer but yeah it always hits...
still have no idea what i am going to do when i graduate, I wont have an internhsip just a minor so the peace corps is still an option that i am highky considering ( almost finsihed the application) and theres another job opportunity i am looking into. Its working with troubled youth in a recreational setting and basically its like camp but they have to do all the wokr and you are pretty much there for support and to monitor them. I think it would be a good way to get some kind of experience and i always have said i want to work with kids and the outdoors. times like these make me realize that i should have been a recreation major but cest la vie..... community health isnt recreation but its a degree that deals with healing and wellness so i think it could work. I would get free room and board along with a paycheck so it may be a good way to save some money and pay off these outrageous loans. and its not like i have to join the peace corps immeditly after i graduate although that wold be ideal since the older you get the more responsibilities you have, and i wanted to join the peace corps since i was 17. Signs point to joining the peace corps and i dont think i could live with myself if i didnt at least try so that is that plan for right now. it takes 9- 12 months for the application process and my application is late but i have to check on my loans to see if i can defer them. If i cant then i pretty much cant go even if i got in. we shall see what happens. I am hopeing for the best and trying to enjoy these last 6 months but sometimes it get s alittle ridiulous! GARG
by the way i just have to add that i am not really a fan of the third pirates of the carribean, tooooooo long and i dont know if i really liked the plot with all the other Lords of pirates or whatver they were. because in the end they didnt even help fight davu jones. Ohh and you never find out what happend to davy jones and calypso... what a scam! anyway that is all.... for now... ;)
