the grass is always greener on the other side
when i'm in class, i'm really overwhelmed and just wish that class would be over.
when i'm out of class, i get bored easily and then feel guilty about the time i waste
i'm sick of taking classes and want to get a job that i can leave at the end of the day (with no hw)
once i get a job i'll wish i was still in school because i can make my own schedule
so i really like ann arbor. it's one of the best towns i've ever been in and i'm really happy that i've gotten to spend the last 3 years here. i have one year left, and i'm going to take advantage of that time. i made a list of things that i want to do before i graduate and i'm determined to do all of them. i'm going to have fun and leave this town with no regrets. i want to look back on my years in ann arbor and think about how much fun i had and feel like i did everything i wanted. i'm not sure i can say that so far.
nothing like graduation time to make you think about what's going on. at this time next year i'll be graduating and will have to either get a job or go to grad school. i originally had no plans to continue with school. i just wanted to graduate and get a job and be done with school. now i'm pretty sure i'm going to be going to get my masters. i want to get to know another city like i know ann arbor and i want to go through the so-called college experience again. i started looking at grad schools online and i'm going to start studying for the GRE. my list of schools is huge right now and it's fun to look at all the places i could end up.
#1 on my list right now is nc state for both the program they offer and the location. my list is definitely a lot shorter than it could be because i narrowed down the major i'm looking for. since i want to end up working for a sporting goods company doing stuff with fabric and shoes i'm going to go to school for textile engineering. i was looking at the different school websites and they were really cool so now i'm actually excited about it.
i'll be in ann arbor this week to work and then home the next (13-20) then back to AA for the rest of the summer. everyone should come visit cause i said so.
i <3 super nintendo cause i rock at super mario world.
