i just had an epiphany
Ok, so I'm waiting for Gordon to get out of the damn bathroom so that I can take a shower and something just randomly dawns on me....I technically have four more classes that I need to take, a thesis I have to write, and then a semester internship I have to complete and I've officially graduated from college with my BA in political science and criminal justice. What the fuck. When the hell did this happen? Who said I was ready to be an adult?!? I don't even have a resume. I don't even know what a resume is supposed to look like, and I'm supposed to graduate from college in a 13 months....I'm freaking out.
The four classes I've decided to take the final semester of undergraduate degree are Public Administration, Murder, Criminal Law, and National Defense Policies. I'll also have an advisor from the political science department that I'll have to meet w/ occassionally so that I can determine a thesis and write a research paper for the department. I'm not too worried about that because A. it's not technically a class I'll ever have to go to, 2. i don't mind writing papers, and d. i believe it's only pass or fail and I really don't think I'll fail. Other than that, I'm pumped for my other classes and the schedule works out pretty nicely with work and such. Tuesday's and Thursday's will be long but 9:30 - 5 long...and I do that now, so that's nothing new. And as far as my internship, I'm clueless. I was supposed to go to two meetings for it already but I had volleyball tournaments both weekends so now I have to wait until April to take care of that shit. I don't even know where I'm going end up. I really don't know where I can go other than I don't want to end up in a prison or something shitty like that...we'll see how that works out.
I've also decided upon 10 grad schools that I'll have to further look into before I start applying. I first had to narrow it down to places - Massachusettes, California, New Jersey, North and South Carolina Florida, and London. Then I finally narrowed it down to schools - Boston University, Duke University, Huron University USA in London, Northeastern University, Seton Hall, UC Davis, UCLA, University of Floria, University of South Carolina, and USC. If everything works out, I will end up at any of these schools. They meet my criteria of being either warm or in a big city and all of them will potentially completely pay for my schooling in the form of an assistanceship. As much as I freak out about growing up, I'm pumped for grad school. I love the idea of picking up and moving some place brand new. Though it breaks my heart to move further away from everyone, that's part of the deal of college though and I can only tell everyone that if we've made it this far, we'll make it through grad school too...I promise.
On a side note, I'm so friggen ready to get back into the gym and play volleyball. It's been almost two whole weeks and I'm having withdrawls. Come this time tomorrow and I'll probably hate the sport, but at least I'm excited for now, right??
Wow, this could very well be the least depressing journal entry of my entire life...and it only took me like two days to update since last time....I kick ass
