Last Semester!!!!????!!! Sigh. Man oh man I'm about to encounter my last semester in college...my last semester in school probably forever. It really scares me. Since I started my internship I have found out first hand just how fast time really does fly when you work a 8 to 5pm job. I'm excited about having a professional career...but at the same time AHHHHHHH it makes me want to scream and stay in college forever. 2 weeks a year vacation????? Who ever said that was enough??? No more crazy summers. No more sleeping in or OH NOOOO No more planning schedules to have Fridays off. I think the thing I am most scared of is boredom...I don't want to be bored at work and come home and watch TV till it's time to go to bed at 10. I'm scared that my friends and I will all part ways and I'll be lonely.
Part of me thinks why not become a teacher...I know that sounds crazy but hear me out...first of all I'd have to work in the field for a while but later in life I could go and get a masters and teach Interior Design somewhere. I'd have summers off and I might even be able to get away with a few fridays off here and there. Life is too short to work till your 50 or 60 than have a few years off before you die. I want to travel, hopefully get married (if it's what god wants for me), be an inspiring designer but I would settle for a hard worker with some great ideas, I want to help people somehow, learn to be a good servant to others and to God (which I really need to work on) and I want to be happy.
This semester is going to be tough because even though my course load shouldn't be too difficult life is going to be really busy with my internship bc i'm working 3 days a week. Another thing that is kind of scary is HELLO where am I going to work...I don't have a job yet. Honestly I'm kind of assuming that Office Environments will hire me when I'm done with my internship...but seriously I need to get it together so I can push for the jobs I want. I know that in the next few weeks I will be going to Gensler to hand my resume to their staff in person...as for Little (Architecture firm) well it sounds like their really is no luck for me there, even though I'm going to keep pressing for it. The reason I really need to go out and promote myself is mainly because I don't even know if I'd like to stay at Office Environments...It's too early to tell really.
Overall I'm filled with feelings of being scared, excited, proud and nervous. Well everyone it's about time I hit the sheets cause tomorrow is the first day of my last semester.
