Can't quite recall
where I left off. It's Thanksgiving break and I'm at home, it's nice to have some time off, but I feel like I should probably be doing homework to be meeting all of the deadlines that I have coming up, and of course I'm not. Graduation in two weeks! I'm excited and scared, but mostly excited. I've had a great time at MSU but I'm ready to move on. I'm sure I'll miss it, I already do, but it's important to keep moving on.
I took an incredibly hard entrance exam for my program in Baltimore, and I'm not sure that I passed. If I didn't, I have to defer until June :(
I went to the bar Weds night, and last night for a minute. I like going out at this time of year, but I hate it at the same time. It's all pretty overwhelming. I wouldn't mind running into any of the old friend I see and chatting on any given night, it's just the fact that ALL of them are there on the same night. I feel like I can't have a real conversation with anyone b/c there is always someone else I am running into or having to talk to. I wish I could just sit and chill with some friends, and at the same time you hate to be rude and not say hi to old friends. I seem to have a lot of those, which I suppose I shouldn't complain about. It's nice to see the people who knew you at a different point in your life, especially considering I actually really liked most of the people that I grew up with/went to high school with.
So, I was asked to write a speech for graduation a couple of weeks ago, and then was invited to interview/read the speech in front of the grad. counsel. I didn't get the position, they asked me to be the "back up" speaker. So I guess that means second place? In this case it's one of those times that second place doesn't matter much unfortunately! But anyway, I thought I'd post my speech, just for anyone to read in case they were interested. It's actually sincere, and I am very thankful to have such an awesome alma mater!
