Decisions, decisions...
I have to start studying and preparing to take a CLEP exam later this summer if I plan on walking in the November commencement ceremony at school. I just can't decide which test to take. I only need 3 elective credits but the exam that looks the easiest to me is "Analyzing & Interpreting Literature" which is a 6 credit exam. So methinks it is probably more difficult and/or lengthy than a 3 credit exam. I could take the History of Western Civilization I or II, both are 3 credit exams, but I think these would require me to do a lot more studying/preparing than the literature exam. Soooo I just can't decide. But I need to decide! Because I need to purchase the study materials and get my ass in gear on this! Would someone decide for me, please??
The big take away from this post, however, is I GET TO WALK IN NOVEMBER! I don't technically "graduate" until Feb. 4, but UOP only holds 2 commencements a year, one in November or one in May. So I either walk in November before I'm done or I wait until May, 3 months after I'm done. I'm all about the party my father does not yet know he is throwing for me, so I'd rather not wait until May. When I walk in November I will be 2 classes away from finishing. Do you see that light? That one down there at the end of the tunnel? That is the SARAH IS FINISHING SCHOOL light! It's very exciting.
In other less-fun news, the boyfriend's job transferred him to California and he sort of didn't tell me about it until 2 weeks later. He said he didn't want to tell me because he felt it would put our relationship in jeopardy, but I feel like by him not telling me he put our relationship in some serious jeopardy! The thing is, for all his faults and bad communication skills, I'm not ready (willing) to call it quits with him. My therapist told me I need to let it go, but I don't want to. The best advice I've received so far was on Saturday night, when my friend told me to "relax and enjoy it for what it is". Is this the relationship I wanted? No, definitely not. But trying to turn it into the relationship I wanted is making me miserable. So the choice is to end it (which I don't want to do) or just let it be. After all, as Gloria always said, "it is what it is!" That's my plan for now, to just enjoy it for whatever it is. If it develops into more, YAY. If not, well there's not a ring on this finger, so if someone else asks me out, I'm going!
