I will wear this crown of thorns...
So another term is finally over...and I actually think I'm sad about this. It's strange because I hated this term, hated this year. I was so stressed out and tired; I didn't have a single day off since September; I wasn't doing well in my classes; I never saw my friends or boyfriend. In short, I should be ecstatic that it's all over and I can get my life back.
Looking back, it was a good term:
1. I actually attended the majority of my classes instead of skipping every other day or so. This, of course, is why I was probably so tired but I really loved my classes.
2. I still hate Starbucks but because I was only there twice a week it wasn't so bad.
3. I love my volunteers at the library gift shop, and the mellow work atmosphere allowed me to get a lot of schoolwork done (First to memorize my Shakespeare lines!)
4. As much stress and work as my Shakespeare play was, it was so amazingly rewarding! I came out of that class with nine new friends who I actually really miss now that we're not working on our play every day after school. Although, I shan't miss the psychotic stress of the actual play.
5. This was a good term for new friends. In my other English class, I worked on a presentation with two girls, Alissa (chicskate) and Diana, and we got on so well. I'm really going to miss seeing them all the time because they are so sweet and wonderful and they made that class fun in a way that only friends can do.
University isn't a place that's conducive to establishing new friendships, especially if you aren't the type to join lots of campus activities. I work every single day that I am not in school (and many days I work after school too) so I don't have time to join clubs or undergrad societies. And though I've met great people in my classes, classroom friendships rarely continued on after the class ends. This really sucks sometimes but you just get so used to it that you don't give it a thought. But this year, I actually feel like I will still talk to these people even though the class is over, and I never realized how good that feels.
So, I guess that this year was really quite okay. I'm going to have to work harder in my classes this summer and next year, and I still have lots of crappy work stuff to figure out (mainly, getting another job so I can quit Starbucks), but I really can't complain too much (although I do).
I'm in such a paradoxical state right now. On one hand, I'm so relaxed because classes are over (though I still have exams). But I'm also really stressed out because my friend and I booked our trip to Vegas already but I still have to apply for a passport and I don't know if it will arrive in time for the trip. I also don't have a valid picture id at the moment (my learner's license expired three years ago), so even if my passport arrives in time, I might not be able to pick it up if my BC id doesn't arrive first. Meeble. Although, Tanya went to Vegas in February and didn't need her passport or id so...I just hope everything arrives in time *fingers crossed*
I am such an organizational disaster :)
