Graduated
Dear Constant Readers,
So I've done it. I graduated from from college with BAs in German and Global Studies, and my thesis I achieved a B- on, which I was happy with. I would have liked an A, of course, but the paper usually lasts more than a year, all said and told, and I have only one semester to write it, so a B- isn't half bad.
In the meantime I'm taking time off now for a few days before starting my new job at the campus library for the summer. I'm also hoping to hear from the Peace Corps soon. I've been medically approved, but other than that, I have no real news. I've been trying to prepare myself by reading memoirs from former Volunteers, but ultimately, every experience is unique.
What else have I to say? Not too much. The thing is, when I write, I have to be in the mood to write, and at the moment I haven't quite fallen into that hole, or gotten into the Zone, or however you want to put it. But I haven't written anything for a while, so I felt it was necessary to at least make an entry.
I am a bit nervous to see where my life will lead to next, although, if the past is any indicator of the future, as the cliche goes, things will work out for me. I still have no idea what I want to do professionally, but if I get into the Peace Corps, maybe I'll think of something then. I still think something to do with linguistics, but who knows.
I'm going to try to start writing more stories, now that I've gotten back into the practice of it since taking a fiction writing class. Over the years of observing humanity, I've found our traits to be funny, and although I've never been a fan of fantasy, sometimes the inventions of the human imagination are really amazing (human language for example) and I would like to incorporate more of that into what I write. I think the human soul is very beautiful, and some outlets are very helpful to me to see that, such as PostSecret, which I have become very interested in over the past few weeks.
Otherwise, I am afraid I don't have much more to add for the moment, so this is a short one.
Plans for the summer (outside of working):
Write more
Get through a few books (hopefully finish one today)
Study some French
Skydive
A short to-do list, and maybe I'll add to it, but it looks alright to me for now.
I'll probably have more to say next time!
Hope all is well!
