Wednesday is the beginning of my last semester at Texas A&M University.  I am beginning to realize that.  In May, I will be graduated.  I don’t know what I want to do.  Not knowing what’s going to happen is starting to bother me.  I know I shouldn’t worry because God will take me where I need to go.  The job market is tightening up because of the economic situation, but I still have opportunity in front of me.

I have not lived my life.  I have put off a lot of things because I “just wanted to get through school, then I would get it.”  I’m not starting a pity party, I just committing myself to do the things that I want and should do.  My camping trip is a good example of something I did without waiting.

2009 is a new year and I’m going to try to make the most of it.  I am also going to try to figure out what I want to do.  Doing that might put my planning mind at rest.

Spring break is overrated. I’m not saying I don’t appreciate the reprieve from school for a week, but it has become this massive conception. The two words bring to mind college students partying in Mexico or skiing in Colorado. Well, not for me; I worked from 10AM to 7PM Tuesday through Friday. I don’t remember very many spring breaks that I actually took a vacation. Oh well, it let me work 36 hours this week; 15 more than normal.

As this week has come to a close, I’ve been thinking more about what I’m going to do after I graduate next year. I really don’t know. I think I’d really like to do technology consulting for small to medium businesses, but I don’t want to travel much. I just heard on a podcast about the digital information archival field; it has really piqued my interest, I’m going to have to do some research on it. So, I’m stressing about what I’m going to do in the future. Everyone keeps telling me that I need to get ready, the real world is about to be here. Well, I’d like to tell everyone, the real world is already here. I’m already in the real world. I never was anywhere but in the real world. If juggling college, work, and daily chores isn’t in the real world, I don’t know what is.
