It just hit me today that if I have things my way, I will be moving out of 137 Bogue in less than one month. I think it was the warm weather that really did it. So I started packing up some things, put away my ceramic heater, threw some stuff out, and packed away all my sweaters/scarves/gloves/winter things. I’m thinking about rolling up the big red rug in my room, just so it’s one less thing to move later.
I’ve been highly nostalgic lately, but can you blame me? I am about to graduate from college. It feels a lot like when I graduated from high school except with less excitement and more uncertainty. At least when I graduated from Linden I had some idea of where I would be the following fall; upon my graduation from Michigan State I have absolutely no clue where I will be. I don’t even know where I will be sleeping beyond May 3.
As of right now my hope is to move to the San Francisco Bay area….but it’s soooooo expensive and I only have about $2000 saved.
The list of items standing between me and graduation is diminishing quite rapidly:
- 1 final exam for FRN 430 (cumulative, 300 pts)
- 1 final exam for WRA 260 (on Powwow Highway, 100 pts)
- 1 final project for JRN 408 (paper airplane graphic!)
- 2 portfolio versions for WRA 455 (really 1 version + 1 memo mapping out 2 versions + 1 honors option memo)
- event planning for WRA 260 (two Native Americans, one a former FBI agent, are coming to campus and we are in charge of planning, promoting, and advertising the event)
- portfolio presentation to the WRAC Community and Industry Advisory Board
- training my replacement webmaster for Neuroscience
I’ve been working on developing my portfolio to run through WordPress and it is proving to be QUITE a challenge.
I’ve always liked the phrase “This is my story; it starts at the end.” Where did I find that??? I can’t remember.
