Today is the last day of class of my first year of college. For me, this is a great milestone. It means that I don't fail at life (yet). Yes, I still have to get through finals in order to consider my first year completed, but the end of classes means that I have rounded that final bend and I am now on the home stretch. I am a little nervous about finals, but I have already taken finals for one semester, so this really shouldn't be that much different.
The last day I will be in the dorms is the 13th. I have two finals that day, and I have to be out of the dorms by 7:00 that evening. I'm almost there, and it has been a fun journey thus far. I am looking forward to what next year brings already. I am going to enjoy my classes; Imaginary Cities (A class that I can only assume is going to be about cities like Rivendell and Coruscant), Art of the Dark Ages (pretty self explanatory, it's an art history course), War and Peace (a class about medieval warfare), The Universe as We Know It (An astronomy course, I like the title. It made me thing of the answer to the meaning of life as we know it), and Mosaic I (a general education requirement that's sort of an all around philosophy course).
Other than my academic life, things have been absolutely wonderful. I have a great boyfriend, and I have been going out dancing mostly every Wednesday night to Shampoo for their goth/industrial night Nocturne. I am learning to balance social activities with academic ones and I think that is really good for me since I suck at time management. (I love to procrastinate). Speaking of which, I really need to get dressed and do my Italian homework....
Just thought I'd let you all know what is going on since I haven't been on this site in ages. Miss you all, and I can't wait to see you guys on a more regular basis after school is out.
