Tons of good memories here

And so I have reached the end of an era. It has been three and a half long, beautiful, and entertaining years at my current place of employment. Within the past three years, I have learned and experienced so much. I definitely leave here with tons of unforgettable memories. Wow, it is a little hard to believe that I won’t be coming to this loft anymore. *pauses to take a breather* I am sure that my desk’s new owner will fill the position just fine—hopefully not too fine. With the upcoming two weeks, I hope to tie up as many lose ends as I can. I still have to open a bank account, have my mail forwarded, ship my computer, arrange for travel arrangement to/from the airports, etc. The list is never ending. I’m surely going to miss this place and all those I have gotten to know throughout the years. They were an awesome extended family to me. I hope nothing but the best for them all.

In the school/degree front, I am getting a little bit nervous. When I was in undergrad, we all had our books weeks before the semester started. We didn’t wait until the last minute –well not all the time—to purchase our books. We were well informed in advance of the classes being offered for the semester, what times they were being held, and who was teaching them. Have I received anything remotely close to knowing anything about the degree or classes? Nope, zilch, and nada! All I received was a little booklet with the classes for the program and a small description of what they were about, not if they were offered in the first term or what necessary materials were needed. I mean, yes, they provided a small list of suggested readings, but no substantial information to let me know if those were the required texts. I am all for a lax environment, but it seems that it is way too lax. Postgraduate studies are hard and I want to be on top of my game with all this. I’m looking to graduate with honors, not thanking the lord baby Jesus for giving me a miracle. Phew, let it go. Focus on the right now.

The only thing that is happening “right now” is my party on Saturday, which I am more than excited to attend. I’m also a little apprehensive about it. I really don’t want to start crying in front of people. Hopefully it will be a good turn out and I won’t feel like I have absolutely no one that cares about me. Also, I really hope it doesn’t rain. It will be a totally bummer seeing as the venue is an outdoor space. Hmmm…..Chupa Chups out! Sorry Mr. Seacrest, I just had to steal your line. 
