Adventures into the Unknown

With exams finished and another semester under my belt, I am anxious to see what the summer and the next (my final) year of school bring for me. With my boyfriend graduating this year and moving to another continent it is going to be a very hard adjustment that I am certainly not looking forward too. For the first time in over two years we are going to be on separate continents for an extended period of time, with no certain time frame of when we will see each other next. While this thought saddens me terribly, I know that we are strong enough to make it through or come out as friends. And I hope we will make it out okay, I will be happy if we come out as friends.

Since this upcoming year of school will be my last (at least for this degree!), I often wonder where my life will take me and have realized that now is the time to make plans. I have started applying to other schools for my masters and for education programs as well as put some "feeler's" out there for jobs. One of the jobs that I am considering is teaching English as a second language. Which is why, with two courses left to my psychology degree, I have decided to take on an English minor (which also would help for applying to educations programs). This is going to be something new for me, as I have only completed 2 first year English courses and now plan to do 6 in the next year. I always seem to make work for myself when I end up with an easier semester. Along with my english minor I have added Vice President Academic to my challenges for next year as well. This is a position in my Student Union that will require a great deal of my time during the semester and well as complete dedication. Part of me thinks that the challenge of splitting my time between my duties as VPA and my school work will keep my occupied that I won't notice how lonely I will be.

One can hope right?
