When my alarm went off this morning all i could think of was "I don't want to go to school" - then i realized... i'm not at school, i don't have class, i'm finished with finals, and the reason my alarm is going off is so that i can wake up to go shopping with my mother! The semester from hell is finally over. One more semester before i graduate from college - quite possibly the scariest thought ever... to give a rundown of the semester, i was pretty damn busy, had three reading/writing intensive classes plus my independent research... i ASM'd 2 plays for ACT... oh yeah, and i tried to have a social life... i got my goreous new car... i became not-broken, which was wonderful... i spent more hours in the library than i could possible have imagined was possible...
and now it's all over... i handed in all my papers, and am starting to get my grades back (A- so far)... Now it's time to switch gears and start thinking about Grad School - the GRE's, my personal statement, my resume, applications, letters of recommendation... and, oh yeah, setting up an internship for next semester...
The happiest news out of the semester, however, is that my paper proposal (based on the research i've been working on for the past year) was accepted to the Society for the Scientific Study fo Sexuality (a multidisciplinary professional society, including psychology) for presentation in a 20 minute oral presentation at their conference in Rodondo Beach, CA in April. This is a HUGE thing - I'm one of a very few undergraduates presenting, with everyone else having attained at least a BA/BS and the majority of the presenters having a PhD or PsyD. So that was really exciting and still is... it's nice to see that all my hard work has completely paid off in the respect... not to mention how amazing this is going to look on my graduate school resumes... ;-)
