OK, so it has recently come to my attention that I just (pseudo) graduated from college. WHAT? Didn't I just graduate from high school? I don't know where the last 4 years went. I've made new friends, lost some old ones, traveled thousands of miles by air, and car, laughed a lot, cried a lot, and gotten drunk.....not enough.
While cleaning up my room trying to make space for all the shit I have accumulated over the last 4 years I came across a lot of high school memories. Most hilarious, and some in Japanese that I can't read anymore. I've come to realize that I have changed a lot as a person in the last 4 years. High school was a time when life was simple. There were no worries about what I was going to do for the rest of my life, there were no bitchy practica teachers to deal with and most of all, there were no daunting views of what the future held. Looking back, I thought I knew what I wanted to do with my life. I was going to be a business woman. Make millions being a liaison between some multi-billion dollar American company and Japan. Eat shit, Kimmel.
Now, I find myself ready to student teach.....preschool special ed. I am happier now than I have been in my life. I can't wait to put college completely behind me and move on to whatever life has in store for me. I just hope it includes a husband with a well paid job.....because even if I'm not that business woman...I'd still like the millions and teaching preschool, that's not going to happen.
So as I prepare for student teaching, my 6th year at the Picture People and my 7th summer at camp (!!!!) I'm ready.
For what? I'm not sure. But I'm ready.
