I know 20 isn't a big Birthday but DAMN do I feel old.
I also feel like now I can't blame any of my screwups on age, even though I know I won't be perfect from here on out in my life. But seriously, I feel like people can get away with so much more as teenagers. I guess I'll have to start having a better head on my shoulders...
My Birthday this year was really chill compared to other years, but I'm going to take that as a good sign. People say that how you spend New Years Eve/New Years is how the rest of your year will go...I say its based on how you spend your Birthday. Or at least it has been for me. So I'm going to go ahead and predict that this year will be without much craziness or drama...at least I hope so.
I didn't really see many people this summer for whatever reason...I know I was busy at school and tutoring, and everyone was busy with work, but I feel like its more than that. I feel a shift happening...and I kind of like it. Maybe people will finally move on from HS and realize that things have changed, and not everyone from your past will be in your future or even in your present. Is it sad? Eh, maybe. But its life. And I for one have fully accepted it.
Last night I finally figured out my schedule for good. I was going to take 15 credits, aka 4 classes, and leave room to work in the Writing Center, but I got an email last night informing me they can't hire new tutors due to budget cuts, so I decided to up my hours to 18, and add an extra class. I'm not going to lie and say I'm excited for school but the classes I chose are pretty on point, so maybe this semester won't be so bad. I'm taking French, a Creative Writing class, Theories in Personality, Math (this is the only one I am dreading) and a Russian Lit class. All in all I have to say I've done well for myself. And by my calculations I have a great chance of graduating early...which would make me happier than words can say.
5 more days till Fall 09 begins.
Time to say goodbye to people still here, watch way too much tv for my own good, and blow some fast cash.
20 years old.
Lord.
