Well, less than two weeks left at this job, and i'll be heading back home. I have less than two weeks there and then i'll be headed for Lyco. How crazy is that?
I've been thinking a lot about what i'm going to do for next year, and so far I don't feel any regrets or any reason to change my plans. For those of you who don't know what i'm doing, here's my plan: next semester i'll be returning to Lycoming, but Spring semester i'll be heading back to Houston and i'll be going to community college there. I want to finish off my basic credits so I can get those out of the way. Then, for fall semester, i'll be applying to the University of North Texas. Thanks to talking to an online friend (since that's really the only way we communicate), North Texas offers what I want, and it's also close to home. By then I should know how to drive, so I should be able to go home whenever I want. I was thinking of going back to Lycoming, but I don't think that's an option that makes sense. Everytime I think of transferring to UNT, it makes me happy inside. I found out later on last semester that I wasn't too happy at Lycoming, So it'd be better to transfer. Not to mention the loans that i'm taking out.
Summer has been good and bad. I've learned many things that i hadn't seen in myself before, i've gained a few friends, and i've strengthened bonds with old friends. It feels good to be at the home away from home. I've gained a little bit of liberty as a staff as opposed to being a student, but it still has its stresses. I like kayaking, canoeing, camping, talking, bitching about what we hate, and making s'mores...although for now i'm sick of them.
Will next summer be the same? How will next year be?
it stresses me out a bit to think about it, but it makes me feel so accomplished to know i'd been in many places in just a year. Only time will tell, and all will be revealed in time.
