So, I registered for classes and all, and I thought that I had to keep 12 hours, but guess what!?!? I don’t!!! I am registered for only 9 hours!!! That’s it, folks… 3 classes and I am done!!! I am absolutely thrilled!!! The classes that I still have to take are going to be demanding, but I am sure I will do fine. I have to take Web Oriented Programming, which I think is actually going to be very fun. My buddy Karl is in it with me, he and I get along well and we work well together, so we’ll be working a lot together in that class. He is in my other two classes, too. After that class is my Decision Science Techniques class, which is essentially uber-advanced Excel. This class will be challenging, but I think I am going to do just fine. I have a massive break and then I have Business Policy, which is the last class that you take as an undergrad for the School of Business. This class will be a lot of research. Of the three, I dislike the last one most. BUT, I am going to get through this semester with no problem, I predict.
Its a little poetic, but when I started MTSU back in 2002, my very first class was ENGL-1010, and it was in BAS S262. This, my last semester of school, I am taking the last class that you take with my curriculum, BUAD 4980 (Policy) and it is in BAS S262. It is like I have come full circle. I started school at 20 years old, knowing almost nothing compared to what I know now… And I leave through the same room I entered ready to take on the world.
Its scary… I know that I will do well, I am not concerned about being able to make it, but I fear what will become of me. Will I change? Of course, that is a silly question… Of course I will change. I change a little bit every day. I honestly don’t know how I am going to handle NOT being in school… It has been that way since I can remember. School, Work, then time for me. I am very much looking forward to having my ME time, but I think that I will need to get a second job to make up for all the money I am going to have to start paying back… I borrowed SO much money. I don’t regret doing it, but I know it will be a struggle to pay it back. Getting a better job beyond Wal-Mart will help. I will probably get a second job, part-time, just to make a lil extra and eat up some of my time. I don’t know, though.
I have a lot of decisions to make, but none are that pressing at the moment. I do know that I am going to begin looking for a job this semester, and I will be attending some serious Job Fairs. Opportunity will be knocking, and I plan on being “home” to let it in.
