The final countdown
I know that I just posted a rant earlier today�. er yesterday I guess. But I felt like I still needed to vent on what has been going on with me lately. Use the navigation buttons below to see the previous post that was only up for a short time.
It is now Wednesday of finals week for me. This is the end of my second semester at this University. All in all I have had a ton of new experiences and learned a lot about life, the universe, and everything. This whole year went by really quickly, I cannot even hardly belive it. If I have everything planned out correctly I should be able to graduate from college in only 2 more years. I start to wonder why I would want to shorten my college career so much, but then I remember how much college costs, and the strong likelyhood I will have to be getting loans for next years tuition. I like this college a lot, throughout the rest of my life in school I have only had a few friends, I knew people but didn�t nessecarily get along with them well enough to consider them to be friends. I graduated from highschool a semester early with no regrets and took a full semester of classes at a community college. This along with my working at a TV station in �real world� job definately expanded my horizons. I managed to hold on to my beliefs and moral convictions even while becoming close friends with older people from work that came from very different walks of life.
Here at the University I have actually made a good number of friends and become involved with a number of campus organizations. I sometimes think it is amazing that I can walk into the union and have to stop and talk with half a dozen people before getting some Taco Bell. The fact that I know so many people all over campus is a little crazy looking back on my middle school and high school days. To add one more big element of surprise I actually joined a fraternity this second semester. For the people that know me best this was a pretty big surprise, myself included. Everything that I have experienced as a pledge and member of Pi Kappa Alpha has firmly convinced my that I made the right decision. One of the things that I am most proud of this year is probably that I made it the entire year without drinking once. To some people this seems dumb, others respect my decision.
With the last 2 days of school before summer ahead of me, and my to-do list on the iPAQ dwindling down, I am more than ready to leave. I don�t know how long I will be home before I really start to miss all the people that I have come to know this year, but I will surely be happy to come back here again next fall. To all of you that live in Kearney or who I will not be seeing much this summer: I hope you have a good time, keep it real yo. To those who will be coming back home with me from other colleges: I can�t wait, summer will be awesome.
Soon my theme song will change from �The Final Countdown� to �Schools out for Summer�. How cliche.
