College is Over? Time to start blogging.

Apparently there is an unwritten rule that if you have absolutely nothing important to say...it is essential that you start blogging. So naturally I had to start one.

Here in a few weeks, God willing and assuming I don't fail Art as an Experience/Geology/Contemporary Christian Belief...I will graduate. I'm not going to lie, this could be a struggle. I have the college version of senioritis except maybe 900 times worse than I had it in high school because unlike high school...I don't actually have to go to school again (night and summer school for my masters in five years aside). Also. I have a job...checking that off the list too. So I'm more or less biding my time.

On the flip side. There is a bitter side to finishing college. In that I am being forced against my will to leave this place. How unfair is it that college has to involve school? I won't lie...against my will and natural inclination to keep anything remotely sentimental and cheesy on the inside... I've been getting nostalgic and have spent a little too much time listening to Michael W. Smith sing Friends are Friends forever...and The Graduation song by Vitamin C...and I Will Remember you...and Time of Your Life...Eek. I'm a sap. Crappp.

This picture sums up entirely why I will miss my time at Taylor (please note that NO classrooms or books are involved in this picture):



So. Here's the plan post graduation (God willing...I just really feel the need to add that in every time I mention graduation..because my classes are such a struggle right now...I definitely need God's will on my side.) I am going back to my ever faithful jobs at Camp Kearney and IncrediPet. Seriously..I don't know that I would be willing to give the two up even if I didn't need to money. SO. It's another summer of singing the banana song and convincing people that what they feed their dog really does matter.

THEN. (insert some variety of grandiose music here) I start teaching 8th grade science in the fall. SCORE. If I could describe to you how much I love middle schoolers...I would...but I can't, as most people consider me sick and twisted for thinking it's the best thing in the world.

But Alas, let's be honest...I should probably be writing a paper, or studying, or reading (REAL SEX is the book of the night...thank you contemp.) so I will stop forcing you to continue reading this blog against your will.

Some things to consider:
1. The topsy turvey tomato planter - how does that work? Does gravity have no role in this concept?
2. What would happen if instead of walking heel to toe...we all walked toe to heel? Picture it in your mind...give it a shot...you know you want to.
3. If for some reason you are in need...which I ALWAYS am...movie theaters are willing to give you the left over 3D glasses if you smile pretty and ask for them. This was a HUGE success for me this week...definitely more so than my geology exam.
