Transitions

So life as I’ve known it for the past few years is about to change radically. I’ll be leaving my job of two years in two weeks. I’ll be graduating from college in three weeks, and I’ll be getting married in a little under three months. Ever since I can remember, I’ve been going to school–and I’m really going to miss it. I can’t believe all the really cool classes I can’t take anymore. I eventually want to get my master’s degree, but in what area? I’m not sure. I’ve got to start looking for a real, full time, use my education job. I love my job now, and I’m sad that I can’t work there once I graduate. Hopefully I’ll be able to find a great job (as in something I love to do) before too long. I’m not sure how to go about getting the kinds of jobs I’d love, but I’ll figure it out (if anyone wants to hire a writer/ editor/ all around great employee, I’m here!).

For the next few weeks I’m going to savor all of the things and people in my life. Sure, I can come back and visit them, but it just isn’t the same feeling. That’s life, I suppose. But don’t get me wrong, I am very excited about this new chapter in my life–who knows what kinds of adventures and experiences I’ll have? It’s going to be great! I just feel like all this greatness snuck up on me when I wasn’t looking!

Day One

And so it begins…my last full semester of college. Sure, I’ll have two classes this summer, but seriously, those don’t really match up to the intensity of a full semester. I had my 8 am class this morning, where I found out that I’m pretty sure I’m going to like it, despite the terrible timing. The class is aerobic walking (which sounds funny), and it is made up almost entirely of women. There is, as of today, one lonely male. Maybe he’ll find a girlfriend, if he doesn’t already have one. One of my coworkers is in the class with me, as is a friend that I’ve had in several classes before. It should be a great way to get exercise and have fun, too.

My other class today was 20th century America. I’m pretty excited about this class, although I know that it will be quite a bit of work. Nevertheless, I am really looking forward to it! I still have three more classes to go before I’ve been to all of them, but I think that they have great potential as well. There is one that I am looking forward to a little less than the others, but I won’t say which one, just in case it turns out to be fun.

Our new roomie, Brandi, moved in last weekend, and so far she’s fitting in great! She is a lot of fun to hang out with, which is always a plus! I hope to spend a lot more time with my friends this semester, since I’m taking fewer hours. We’ll see how that goes!

Well, I’ve got a paper to write, so I’ll wrap it up for today. If I have a chance, I’ll update again at the end of the week so that I can tell you how my other classes are going. Oh! I almost forgot! My church is doing something really cool! We’re having 10 different goals in 2010, some of which will be community service-type things. The next one is a book fundraiser for a local Headstart pre-k class! I’m really excited about this, and can’t wait to kick it off! Check out our website for more details!

Later gators!
