One week left

Oh jeez. Band camp starts in a week. That means that I start my fourth and final year of college. I take the GRE in a few weeks, by which point I need to know what grad schools I'm sending scores to. I also need to finish updating and tweaking my resume, not to mention beginning to research companies that are coming to the career fair in two months. Oh, and I turn 21 six weeks from today.

I have a tendency to panic and look at the big picture of everything coming up rather than realizing that I still have one more band camp to enjoy, one last year of undergrad to live through. And hey, in six weeks, I'll be able to buy alcohol to cope. :-P

So what am I doing with this last week of nearly responsibility-free freedom? Not sure yet. Likely more crafts - I'm close to finishing Toothless. Also more Doctor Who and Eureka, TV shows I'm watching with my friends. No, I guess I don't have any grand plans, though I may jaunt home for a visit. I probably won't do anything too exciting, because I refuse to believe that my childhood is ending. Only the lame parts, like early bedtimes, curfews, homework. Ooh, homework. This is my last year of homework (barring the possibility of grad school)! Also, I have a really hard time coming up with lame parts of childhood. My parents are pretty awesome.

I have so many projects in the pipeline. I have no idea how or when I'm going to get around to them all. I got a capo for my guitar yesterday, so I've been working on that some more. When I mentioned to a friend that I'm really gonna work on guitar this year, he asked "With, what, the -2 hours of time you'll have free this semester?" Which really is a good point, the way I run my life. It's gonna be a busy one.

I am up to 6th on the waitlist for the game design course I want to take. I ran into one of my professors in Kroger the other day and it sounds like that'll be a good class. Two other classes I'm taking should help me narrow down what field I want to go into. And there's always marching band - our first show is Earth, Wind, and Fire.

Now to go bake stuff and figure out what food I need to eat before I move out next week. :-)
