Finals are coming! Finals are coming! I have three finals that I'm pretty sure of. Two of which are this week (stress much? NEVER!). It's kinda weird that the semester is almost over. School becomes such a part of my life, my routine, that to think that it might be over for another semester, it throws off my whole balance to life and makes me a little anxious. I don't like to think I can't adapt (I think quite the opposite, actually), it's just perhaps I'm just reluctant to do so. I like my routine. I like my life and to see something that's such a large staple of it change makes my head a little nervous.
Summer is coming, though! Warm weather, bright skies and spending time in the sun! This time, my summer won't be taken up by a 50+ hour work-week, either. I have two classes I hope to take, so only 6 credits. A class in Revolution taught by my favorite teacher before he goes on sabbatical... and probably one on Microeconomics -- assuming SOM accepts me. My GPA for the moment is a tad bit low, not low enough for SOM to deny me, but it still makes me mildly nervous. Worse comes to worse, I'll make it into CASL, boost my GPA some and apply again. I don't think it'll be necessary since the required is 2.5 (?) and I have a 2.70. It'll rise!!! TRUST ME! IT WILL RISE!!!
So far, so anxiety or "Uh oh, WTF did I do?" moments in changing my major to PS/Finance. I like Poli Sci, so I'm really happy. Besides, it'd be way cool to work for the government (NOT the political side, the policy side, mind you). Finance is gonna take a little effort to get through, but will be better when I'm taking the classes for my concentration. But thinking of a great melding of a PS degree and a Finance degree gets my mind in places like the Federal Reserve, SEC and other organizations that make my mind "SQUEE!!!!" with delight.
Michael takes his classes for an EMT soon. I'm so anxious for him. I know he'll do well (I WILL MAKE HIM!), it's just the first step on the path that he wants to be in. I feel nervous and excited for him. Things will be tight, but we'll get through together and I want to see the accomplishment when he's done and passes wonderfully, when he gets a job as an EMT... when he moves on to be a paramedic. I'll be right there and even just thinking about that far away day fills me with a bit of joy and pride for him -- even though the day isn't here yet. Just the knowledge that it will be one day is enough to make me really happy. He'll do awesome. And I'll be behind him the entire way.
Oh, and Saturday was our two-month anniversary thingie-ma-bober. We didn't do much, but I'm so pleased. Two months with an amazing guy! I don't regret a single day and even during a few disagreements and hurt feelings, I still love every moment I have with him. Every time I see him I smile and every time he touches me I feel utterly content.
Although, at the moment, my head is being a pain in the ass... Ugh.
