Mmmhmm. Only one semester left and I am officially done being a college student.
I took my last final of this semester earlier today. I've done well this semester considering what a ride I've been on throughout it. I am proud to proclaim I made it through. I honestly never thought the gray skies would clear, but out of nowhere came a breath of fresh wind. I can only give my thanks for it and enjoy it now.
I am myself again. I am happy.
I've kept my GPA about the same, might have even managed to bump it up somehow.
I have completed my Senior Seminar. It was a research paper on Online Communities. It had some interesting results and wasn't quite what I expected. Regardless, it was pretty exciting to go over the data and put it altogether. I have to present it next semester during the Spring if I want to get an A, assuming I'm in the contention for one. My professor/advisor has seemed to believe the study to be top quality, so I think I did well with it.
Next semester is bringing so much to me in life... I will be helping Vicki to work on getting all the outfits made for her wedding. I'll also likely hopefully help put together the finishing touches as much as possible before May comes. Spring Break will be simply amazing. Graduation, while boring to sit through, will be wonderful to go through. It may not be the last time I go through one, but I am ready to get into the workplace.
My lazy butt needs a swift kick! I need to be humbled into knowing that I can't just laze about life and expect to always succeed as I've managed so far for the most part.
The only thing I can say I am sad for is that after this next semester, we will all be going our seperate ways. As I did four years ago, I will do once more. Start fresh with my life, hope the best and pray to find as amazing of friends as I did four years ago and all the way through to today. Even though I've lost some of them along the way, I cannot say I am sad to have known them. My life was truly fuller to have them in it.
I look back and I do not think on the bad times. I do not think about the rough times. I remember all the laughs. All the fun times. All the embarassing times and those times that called for absolutely side splitting laughter.
Memories... memories.
We dreamers have our ways of facing rainy days
Somehow we survive
We keep the feelings warm, protect them from the storm
Until our time arrives
Then one day the sun appears
And we come shining through those lonely years
I made it through the rain
Kept my world protected
I made it through the rain
I kept my point of view
I made it through the rain
I found myself respected by the other who got rained on too and made it through
When friends are hard to find and life seems so unkind
Sometimes you feel afraid
Just aim beyond the clouds and rise above the clouds and start your own parade
Cos when I chased my fears away
That's when I knew I could finally say
I made it through the rain
I kept my world protected
I made it through the rain
I kept my point of view
I made it through the rain
And found myself respected by the others who got rained on too and made it through
I made it through the rain
I kept my world protected
I made it through the rain
I kept my point of view
I made it through the rain
And found myself respected by the others who got rained on too and made it through
And made it through
I made it through
