I am a complete spaz. This really isn't a new revelation, just today it's more apparent. I'm really excited about graduating and going home, but I'm also really sad about my time with Anna ending. She's been my roommate for 3 years and it just doesn't seem real that she won't always be there. I can't study like I used to. I'm too ready for everything to be over and have to keep reminding myself that it isn't yet. This last semester doesn't really matter. My GPA for graduation will only include my last 7 semesters, so I'll be graduating Magna cum Laude no matter how hard I bomb my exams. I've already been accepted to grad school. But I've always done well and I can't just accept mediocrity, although this final semester has been tough and I might end up with simply average grades. I just wish it was all over. There's too much in my head right now and I can't focus.
Chicago is looking more appealing every day. My roommates seems like a perfect match and I'm excited to hang out with them when I go visit soon. I registered for my first semester classes a few days ago. I'll be taking Poetry I, a film lit class, and interning on the school's literary magazine. I feel like I'm ready for this change as if this opportunity has always been waiting for me, I just had to mature and become comfortable enough with myself. I've viewed myself in New York or Chicago ever since I can remember. I was an artist and it was simply meant to be. Now it's actually happening and I get to do something I love in a city I love. I smile about it all alone in my room sometimes.
