So I was reading a status comment someone had left on FaceBook. They were talking about having to soak up all the fun now and stop complaining about the hard work because it was their last year before the real world. I realized I don't have to feel that way because I will be here another four semesters. I will graduate in December of 2011. You know what? I am not sad about being here longer. I also remember over hearing someone's phone conversation on the Rapid bus during my sophomore year. It was rainy that day I remember and I just finished classes for the day and was heading back home. He too was saying how he had to soak it all up now. I am assuming he was a senior. But he also was saying how "once you have it figured out, your done." At the time I was having a hard time with my classes. I was sick of all the work without seeing any benefits. BUt now I appreciate his observation, for it is true. I am just figuring this whole college thing out, and can't imagine trying to rush out of here. Between learning how to study, being in classes and learning things that I am passionate about, I am glad it is not ending so soon. I feel like I finally have a hold on things. I have four semesters to further develop my passion of education and teaching. I have that chance to keep good grades and invest in opportunities that will be beneficial to me when I get into the field.
