I've reached that point in my collegiate career where I'm just ready to be done. School is fine. I love my classes this semester. They are all really interesting, the only problem is that Tuesdays and Thursdays drag on for quite some time. Being gone from 9:30 in the morning until 9pm or later at night wears on you. Thank goodness I only have two days of class though. Otherwise I really don't think I'd be able to survive.
All that's really left is to find an internship, which I've been struggling with for over a year now. I think I'm still a little bitter that I was offered one and then they decided they didn't need me anymore. It's just frustrating. I'm completely out of ideas as to how to find one anymore. I'm not a very forward person and I suck at thinking of the right questions for people that make me sound as interested as I am in their work. I mean seriously, what else am I supposed to do? Maybe if I had better connections or if the stupid DSAB Board I'm on helped at all things would be better, but I'm struggling to hold on right now.
Plus, the one thing that really made me want to walk in May for graduation was that I would get to do it in Northrop Memorial Auditorium. However, I just found out yesterday that the funding was finally approved to renovate the building, which means they are shutting it down on Monday :( This also means that graduation ceremonies have been moved to Mariucci Arena. A decent building, but seriously!? Northrop was my home for marching band for 2 years, I love that building, and with the renovations they intend to do will completely change the essence of the building. Yet another reason I want to get the hell out of Minnesota!
I love this school, but this state keeps doing things that make me very unhappy! So even the thought of becoming a citizen just makes my skin crawl. Granted if I finally find an internship or happen to get offered something permanent I would totally take it, but that doesn't mean I'm going to go out of my way to make it happen. I really miss Wisconsin. But honestly, I just need to go somewhere different. I'm ready for a change and a different chapter in my life to start.
