A New Phase in Life

These people keep telling me I don't blog enough. I know. But the thing is, how much is there really to blog about when one is simply attempting to complete this thing we have come to call 'university'? Oh well.

Anyways, surprise! I am actually going to graduate on time (well, I do need to finish up a couple of classes in summer school, but mostly on time). Graduation is in May, and to be perfectly honest, I have no idea what i am going to do after that. I suppose I should start applying for a job. But there is really only one that interests me. I can't tell though, it's a secret. ;)

Next semester will be filled with all sorts of Spanish fun. MWF I have Spanish classes from 9am to 12pm in addition to others. Three hours of Spanish three days a week should do me some good though. At least, I hope! I also hope that I will be able to spent a sufficient amount of time up in the mountains, because I have come to miss them during this long bout of nice summery weather. Most people would love it. I just want some SNOW! It will come. Eventually.

It is a weird thought that there is only one more semester at CU left for me. What happens after that will surely be life-changing. I don't really know if I'm ready for that. I might be. But it's so easy to have the security of needing to finish 'just another year' here in Boulder. My future for the last four years was somewhat certain. I knew where I was going. I had a goal, and now as I approach it, I wonder how I got here. I wonder if I spent my time as wisely as I could have.

I suppose it's somewhat meaningless to ponder these things, because solace will never come. I will always think there was something I could have done better, and yet, the power to change those things is lost on me.

I know I have always wanted to live abroad, and the funny thing is, now that I can, I'm not sure if I want to just yet. I would love to live in London, Barcelona, New York, D.C., but I really do love it here in Colorado. It's so beautiful. I love the way the air smells here, like crisp water from a lake in the middle of winter. And I love the mountains. I honestly feel lost in places that don't have them. And then there's snow. I love it when it snows.

So who knows? With graduation fast approaching and the neverending questions about what I am going to do with myself looming around the corner, I think I'll leave those questions alone until I find some inspiration. :)
