The next month is going to be one crazy ride! With 6 papers due within a 3 week span, my mind is all ready reeling with the thought of enduring all this writing!
I complain and say its just not fair, its too much work! I am usually reminded, however, that this is not unfair, unjust, or some all powerful university god-like Dean trying to make my life miserable, but something of my own design. It really is my all my fault, for a) taking on a double major and b) choosing two majors that require vast amounts of reading and tedious paper-writing. When you put it that way...eep.
Yesterday I had a meeting with my academic adviser to plan my graduation. AHH. A year from next month, I will be graduating from university! I have conflicting thoughts about this, ranging from yes it's almost over, to what will I do next? I'm also umming and ahhing over what my chosen career will be once I'm all done. The plan is teachers college following graduation, but what if for some freak reason I don't get accepted anywhere? what then? what can one do with a history and english degree? Not that much, unsurprisingly. Its going to be an interesting year, attempting to find what roleI'll get to play in life. All I can really do is leave that all up to God. I'm sure he'll give me hint eventually. I hope.
In the meantime, I will continue to be distracted by the great book I just bought at chapters, you know, instead of preparing for the essays I have to write!

Who knows where life can take you!
It really is up to you what you want to do, remember the translator thing that I mentioned? Any thought about that?
I'm pretty sure i would need a degree in linguistics or communication to get a job like that. Plus I haven't taken any french classes in uni. I'm not really sure what I'll be good at!
