The Beginning of the End

This class signals the beginning of the end for me...in four short months I will no longer be able to operate under the guise (and oftentimes, excuse) of "student." Nope, that’s all over, and the "real world" beckons. This I find to be equal parts terrifying, and exciting. There are any number of choices and avenues to explore, each with its own set of unknown consequences, rewards, and so on. I have no real plan of action at this point, but I'm beginning to take an inventory of those things in my life that truly matter, the interests and passions that serve to define me, and where I might want to go from here. I look forward to this class, and the chance to learn and grow a little bit more before they send me flying down the chute with that golden piece of paper that serves as a testament not only to my desire to broaden my mind and my understandings, but also to how lucky I have been to have received the opportunity to do so.
