One Last Hurrah

Last week, we had our final Honors Banquet. You can read about over at Aemelia's blog if you'd like. It really gets you thinking. I have to say good-bye to a lot of people soon, and it is very sad. One chapter of life is going to be over and a whole new one is going to start. That Vitamin C song is playing in my head right now.

And on a general note, although saying goodbye to people is really sad right now, I suppose that it is important to remember that moving on is bittersweet.

Let Me Look Into My Crystal Ball

I submitted my NYU Steinhardt application today! This makes it 3 graduate schools down, 1 more to go. Wouldn't it be amazing to live in New York City for a couple of years? Imagine the scene. Imagine the learning. Imagine the experience.

Imagine the cost of living.

All these applications make me excited--that is a nervous, scared, silly, happy, sad, anxious, elated, tentative, ready for it, roller coaster kind of excited.

Being completely unsure of the future is an interesting place to be in. I am graduating from college in a matter of months. Who knows what I'll be doing next year at this time or where that unknown will be? I am at that point in my life when it really counts, when my entire future is really decided, when I am not really in control of my own destiny. This moment, this chunk of time, is both wildly freeing and decidedly enervating.

Where will I end up?
