it's not over tonight
Oh man. Well, I had my last final on Monday and turned in my final Com project Tuesday morning (which is absolutely AMAZING, if I do say so myself - anyone who wants to see it when I get it back is more than welcome). I came home Tuesday night - I have to move back into McMahon for Summer Conference on Sunday, so I figured I'd come home and relax until then. Once I move back in, I'm going to be living in the dorms for the next twelve months of my life. Yup. Mind you, it will be as an RA, so I guess that's better than as a resident (maybe?). Needless to say, next June I will probably be ecstatic to be moving out after 3.5 years. Gosh, that seems like a long way away, but these last two years have zipped by, so who knows?
Speaking of which, I can hardly believe I am done with two years of college - how did that even happen?! I feel like I just graduated. I feel like I was just brand new to the U. And now, all of a sudden, I'm halfway done. It's ridiculous. Next thing I know, I'll be graduationg and looking for a job...and hopefully moving to NYC ;o)
Let's see, what else? Oh, I found out I didn't get into the Rome Program. I'm actually not too upset - there were over 60 applicants and only 26 spots, so all freshman and sophomores were almost automatically eliminated, because they figure you can apply again next year. Plus, even if I had gotten in, I was planning on deferring/rejecting it because I'm going to be an RA. So really, it all worked out well :o) I had my Australia interview yesterday - like I said before, I'm actually more excited for this than for Rome. It would really be like going home and that is a wonderful thing.
My mom told me my grandma is renting a lake house in Montana this summer like she did, wow, 7 years ago? It doesn't feel like it was that long ago, but I guess it was - the summer after 7th grade. Daaang! I feel old now, haha. Anyway, it means I'll get a week vacation in August, which will be nice, considering there is no break between Summer Conference and the start of Fall Quarter.
I ended up switching my Summer Quarter schedule. I dropped out of Italian, because I felt like I wouldn't be able to gvie it my all. On top of RAing and working 2 jobs, I think it would just be too stressful and end up hurting my GPA. All around, it just felt like a bad decision. Instead, there were still some spaces in COM 362, which is the last class in a 3-part core series for the journalism major. I just finished 361 and was waiting on an add code for 362 for the fall. Anyway, it's only 5 credits, meets MW 12:00-2:10, so I figured it would be a good chance for me to get it done. I got the other add code I was waiting for for the fall, so now I feel like I'm all on-track. I might even finish my major next year.
I also found out what FIG I got! It's funny, it's really similar to the one I took. Mine was an intro Com course and a Russian Film course - the one I'm teaching is a Russian Film course and an English course. I'm excited :o) But I am going to miss my FIG leader class so much! A bunch of us are planning on hanging out this summer and having a reunion since we bonded so so much. It'll be fun!
Uhm. There's actually a lot of stuff going on at home right now that I can't really talk about, which is frustrating because it's pretty stressful. I didn't think it was when I first found out, but now it's sort of on my mind a lot and making me really upset. Why does life have to be so complicated and hard?
Anyway, it's really weird now. I feel like once I move back into McMahon on Sunday, that's sort of it. I really don't live in my house anymore. I won't be living at home again until next summer (if I even end up doing that) before I *hopefully* go to Melbourne in July. Then when I get back in November/December, a friend and I have talked about living together in Queen Anne. And if I don't go to Melbourne (God forbid), I'd be doing the Queen Anne thing starting in the summer, as soon as this year is over. And then I'll graduate in June and move somewhere. It's very weird. I feel very old.
When did we all grow up? I was watching one of those classic '90s kid sport movies ("Little Big League") the other night, and it's just so bizarre thinking that movies like that are about 15 years old. How did that happen? I can remember when all of those movies were brand new. I get excited thinking about graduating and getting a job and going off on my own, but at the same time I get scared. I have a feeling these next two years are going to fly by.
