Poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese.

Galloping Manic

I just completed my application for graduation. This is almost unreal for me. I feel like I've been waiting forever for this, even though it's only been 4.5 years.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I'm praying that everything goes smoothly, since my anxiety is beginning to make what-if scenarios run through my mind.

---------------------------

I picked out my dress the other day. I'd been having a hard time finding the "perfect" dress, since I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted. This one came closest to being the perfect dress for me. I wanted to wait a bit longer, but the dress I picked out takes ~4 months to come in, so I didn't want to miss out and I just ordered it.

I've become really nervous about the wedding; there's way more planning than I had imagined. At the same time, I'm also incredibly antsy and excited for it! It actually feels real now, and I'm having a second wave of happiness.

And We Dance On..

I honestly do not understand how/why people want to stay in school forever.

Gosh.

What Are You Hoping For?

Tomorrow is the first day of my (I'm pretty sure) last semester. I'm going to meet with my adviser sometime this week and make absolutely sure. If I end up having to take more classes, I'll do them during winter session. I refuse to continue taking classes in 2008!


I've been looking at job options for post-graduation, and since I do not have the funds to build a rockin' bar/library, it looks like my best bets are:
Post Office, Geico (if all the billboards around here mean they're really that eager to hire..), some type of federal/state/county/city job that somehow doesn't require 3 years prior experience.
I don't think I'll find a history related job that pays enough to live off of.
