(no subject)
It finally dawned on me today that next year I'm going to be able to do all (or at least a lot more) of the things here at Hollins that I've been wanting to do. This semester, I haven't been able to do anything except for Senate because of work study (79.75 hours for March -- 15 more minutes, I think I would have gotten a call from Financial Aid...though it doesn't matter since I probably wouldn't have gotten it anyway). Next year, I'll be able to be an RA and do Batten and be an admissions ambassador, and I'm hoping to volunteer for CASA, and I can take TONS more classes that I couldn't take this year (WOOO ADVANCED GRAMMAR! ...shut up.)
Today, I saw the ambassadors walking around with their tour groups, and that's when I realized that I'll be able to do all that next year. In five weeks, they'll kick us out for three excruciating months, but then, when I come back, I'll have 20 hours per week that are MINE again -- MINE to do whatever I want to with them (and if I get the classes I want, that'll include 6 classes per semester, plus extra-curriculars). I never really got involved when I was in high school because I LOATHED the place so much. I did SGA for two years and I did Academic Team for two years, and admittedly, there wasn't much to do to get involved in my high school unless you wanted to play a sport (abso-fucking-lutely not) or join some stupid club. But I love Hollins, and I WANT to be here, and I WANT to be involved, and yes, I'll admit it -- if it takes my soul, that's okay.
