Well, one year down, and God willing, one more to go. Classes and finals and papers are over and have been for almost a week now but it's just now sinking in.
Life is crazy. Yet again, I am anxious for the next part. I long for the day I have a steady job with a steady plan and no other obligations beyond work. This may sound boring but to me it sounds like the only way in which I'd be able to find time to enjoy life. That is not to say I do not now nor do I fully believe anything will be different. I know that with the death of some obstacles, others are born and sometimes much worse but so far everyone who has taken a similar path has told me that school is the bad part and once that is out of the way, life does get easier.
I'm looking forward to being a librarian and I cannot help but feel that I've made the right decision. We shall see, I'm sure.
To those graduating: congratulations and good luck. I hope your plans are clear and immediate. Nothing is more frightening than looking out onto the world with seemingly no place to start. Unless you have good friends.
My friends have been perhaps the best thing in my life. Good or ill, I've learned a lot from them and because of them, I am able to go on without the fear of my world dropping away from me, and that is no small feat.
Now on to a summer of unknowns, followed by a hectic and life-changing semester.
