The summer is almost over and I’m kind of glad. That’s not that surprising considering the fact that I rarely haven’t looked forward to school as far as I can remember. Although my schedule is not yet finalized, I’m pretty excited about my potential courses thus far. It’s going to be a good year. It has to be, because after all, this is my final year of undergrad. I’m not sure when or if I’m going to make an attempt at graduate school, but now isn’t really the time to think about such things since I wouldn’t go straight after I’m finished anyway. For now I just have to finish my summer strong and go to work everyday so that I have at least a little money when school starts this September. For the fall, I have aspirations to record my adventures in seniority daily the way I did my last year of high school. It will be a nice thing to look back on. If I’m going to be successful at that, however, I probably need to whip up a new design for this website. I’ve been tossing around the same idea since spring, but I’m not really all that in love with it anymore. It’s a shame when an idea gets old before you even really bring it to life. Anyway, it’s just about time for me to leave work. See you soon.

Finals are officially over! I still have one paper to write that I got an extension for, but it’s about gender in Charlie Chaplin’s The Great Dictator so I don’t think that it will be very difficult to write, even with the expectation of fifteen pages. Before I get that out of the way, however, I’m going to have to pack up and leave campus. I’ll be staying in Philadelphia with my boyfriend this summer, as well as taking a class. To be honest it’s kind of scary, but I’m sure everything will work out just fine.

Tuesday I have to fill out some paperwork for a job. I’m not completely satisfied with the description, but it will definitely provide some experience in a different arena. It will help me expand my skill base, so it should be great. If it doesn’t work out, there’s always a job on campus that I can apply for. It’s dull, and I’d much rather not have to do it on campus since transportation is so expensive, but it is an alternative, and one I might actually have a little more fun with. If I’m lucky, I should be able to participate in the position off campus or at least for part of the week.

With all the obligations spoken for, I hope to work on sprucing this site up a lot this summer. I want to bring it in the direction of a portfolio, especially since I’ll be a senior next year and I will finally be making my official debut into “the real world.” This is going to take a lot of time and effort, so, it will probably be a while, but I hope to achieve the task before my 21st birthday on the 8th next month. It’s going to be a blast! I have a lot of ideas, and I won’t be home, restricted by my parents with the internet connection, so I should have a lot of opportunities to work on it. In the mean time, this theme will stay up because I’m tired of looking at the default.
