It feels weird to be back at school so soon, after a whopping 12 days of summer break. It's completely different though. Everything is bizarre. Only one roommate, longer classes, less people on campus, less people on the road, more free time, hotter, less friends, new friends, and no business classes. I have been in the process of cleaning out my room from the last semester, which generally makes me extremely nostalgic. Also, I have the hardest time throwing ANYTHING away. I have saved all the notes I've ever taken in every class ever. Even high school- I'm pretty sure I have all my notes from HS stashed away back home somewhere. It's not that I think I'm going to need to look something up sometime, but I just have an odd amount of pride in my notes. It represents all the hours I have spent in a class actually learning. My stacks of old notes symbolize my education in process. It's like I can physically hold my education, and the heavier the stack of notes get, the closer I am to being done and the smarter I am getting. Not that I want to be done... I'm actually dreading that moment like the plague. Graduation does not seem like a reason to celebrate to me because the very thought of it terrifies me. What the HECK am I going to do with my life? I hope it involves Spanish... I love Spanish so much. Not sure why, I just love the language. I love the idea of being able to speak 2 different languages. I can't help thinking about the MILLIONS of people that I cannot communicate with right now but I will be able to in a very short amount of time. What an incredible thought. If only I could speak Chinese... summer goal :)
