Graduated.
Well, it seems every few months I get the urge to post in here again. This time, however, I'll try and be a little more frequent with the postings. For one, I'm at home and I get bored much easier. For two, I'm now a little bit more separated from a lot of people as a result of graduation. Throughout my years in school, I have realized that I absolutely hate writing. Its like pulling teeth. Even when its not for school. Still sucks. But, for the sake of giving me something to do here at home and to keep in touch a little bit better for this next section of my life, I'll do my best.
Welp, its all over. St. Mary's was a fucking blast, wasn't it? I could ramble on and on about how much I learned, how much I changed, and how much fun I had, but nothing I could say would do any of it justice. While I am sad that I had to leave, I am so pleased with my time there that I feel like everything is complete. One wonderful chapter closed, and another one beginning. Maybe I'll be changing my tune once fall rolls around and the new seniors are heading back to St. Mary's while my pathetic ass is still living at home, but that's "Later-Lisa's" problem as I like to say. I've heard from a lot of people that they barely keep in touch with their college friends over the years, but I feel that the friendships at St. Mary's are different. I already miss my housemates like crazy (Diane- I saw a commercial for "House" and I went "Hauoooooouse!" and my dad looked at me like I was nuts.) and I think the core of us will manage to stay in touch. Overall, St. Mary's, and college in general, was fucking great.
I visited American U. for the first time today and it was... weird. Don't get me wrong- the school is absolutely beautiful, especially for being in the middle of DC. Great teachers, good buildings, good stuff. But I kind of felt like I was cheating on St. Mary's... stupid, huh? I kept comparing things to St. Mary's, and referring to St. Mary's as "my school." I guess St. Mary's will always be my school at heart, I just gotta open up some room for one more. Maybe 2.
It was actually graduation day for the law school (we had no idea) so everyone was walking around in their Ph.D. robes and taking pictures while holding degrees. So I guess today is when it finally sunk in that:
#1 I am no longer attending St. Marys.
#2 I am attending American University in the fall
#3 I will be standing there in those robes someday. Hopefully.
Probably not at American, but somewhere. I have an awful lot of school left, and I am ready. BRING IT ON!!!
