Summerish Break

I packed all my things yesterday and am now home for four weeks until Summer Session I begins.

My exams went okay. Philosophy was easier than i thought, but for some reason my Shakespeare teacher put some hard quotes on the test to identify. You'd think that if you at least have some knowledge about a) poor indecisive Hamlet b) old King Lear c) and crazy Macbeth then you could match the quote with the play. But that wasn't the case. I stared at seven unfamiliar quotes for about 5 minutes, only being able to identify 2/4 we had to answer with 100% accuracy. The other two i guessed on and I only managed to get them right from pure luck. I can't wait to see what i made in that class.

My other 3 exams were pretty easy. I'm looking for a solid b/b+ in most of my classes, though an A or two wouldn't hurt.

It was a lot harder leaving my room than i thought it would be. It sort of hit me when all my stuff was taken down from the walls, that this is my LAST year of college. I mean trust me, i am incredibly happy about it, but it's now sort of the time where i have to start looking for a job or more grad schools.

I have no interest in staying at my house longer than i have to but i still have no idea where i want to go or where i want to work. I figure if all else fails, i can get some traveling under my belt before i get a "real job".

My head right now is in a million and one directions. I see a lot of options but i don't really have a firm grasp on any of them. I wish i could see into the future and know exactly where 27 year old me will be, at least that way i would know if i was going in the right direction.

It seems like when you graduate, everyone wants to know "so what's next". When i got my Saturday cookie and soda this weekend, i saw another recent graduate dressed in a wedding gown and taking pictures on the campus garden.

The picture above is only half of the huge section of campus where everyone lounges, reads books, plays Frisbee or takes corny marriage stills. I love this section of campus (plus it was right where my dorm was located) because it's so green there. You have trees, more trees, some brick, and then more trees.

Of course this is also the place where people take a lot of pictures. I swear in the last 2 weeks i have seen more brides dressed taking pictures on this 'lawn' as if to say "This is what is next for me. Marriage."

Marriage of course is not in the near future (that would require a boyfriend). Grad school is on hold. And well...My "what's next" is kind of fuzzy right now. I still have a little while to figure things out. I just wish it would come to me sooner. But for right now I've got some laundry to do, and stories to read.
