Mainly writing to say, Yes I'm still alive.
Extraordinarily busy with course work and stressed out, but no more or less than any other Senior here. Whats really freaking me out is facing after graduation plans.
Speaking of which, parents weekend was two weeks ago. I spent the entire time talking to my parents about career choices and grad school programs. It was a conversation I needed to have but one that was nevertheless emotionally exhausting. I have the impression they don't entirely agree with my decisions but they trust me to do whats right for myself.
The real problem is that I know exactly what it is I want to do, but I have yet to accomplish everything thats going to get me there. All I have to do is sit and wait, live life a little and not worry - it's the not worrying part that I am stuck on.
Currently in day three of the first fall break I've ever spent on campus. Campus as been deserted, someone described it as a post apocalyptic Wooster. I do have a few friends who are still around so I can't complain too much. Saturday I spent from noon to midnight in the student center/cafeteria playing various boardgames, twister and charades. It's been a good break so far.
My 22nd birthday is this coming Wednesday, the same day Erin gets back from break. The relationship between us has only gotten stronger. At this point our parents are starting to take note of it. When Erin's parents came up to visit they started interrogating her about the necklace I gave her and about how serious we were. I gave the necklace to say I was serious about this, and thats exactly what she told her parents.
My IS is progressing and for the moment thats all that matters on that front. Accomplish a little bit each day and eventually it will come to it's end.
