Maybe if I write something I want to write, I will be more compelled to do my homework.

Holy Senior Year Batman.

Where on earth has time gone. It seems like yesterday was September 1st and now they tell me that Thursday is October 1st. Out of control.

During Governors School they all warned me that it would fly by, and I believed them to a point. But my thinking was that all of college has seemed to fly by, why would senior year be any different. Yet, senior year has been different, it's like some kicked in to warp speed. Unacceptable. I feel as though it is physically sucking the energy out of me to obtain that warp speed. I get sleep and yet I stay tired all the time. I think it's due to a B12 and Iron deficiency. I bought multivitamins today. Hey 21, you just got way more real.

So, now it is officially fall. I keep watching the first leaves fall, and trees start to change. It makes me think of a lot of poetic, sad thoughts about senior year, but I know a lot of my senior friends tend to read this, so I'll keep the un-pleasantries to a minimum.
You know, as much as I'm going to miss Meredith and everything that I have grown to love about this place, I have to say I will not miss the work. I am so tired of homework and classes. That's not to say I don't enjoy learning or my classes, but I'm over homework assignments for things I know won't impact my life. If I could just do SGA and work I would be perfectly content.

A lot of times Meredith girls get really comfortable in that Meredith bubble, and the real world kind of hits them in the face. But I'm kind of ready for that. I'm ready to have a place to call home and a (hopefully) a job (if the economy continues to improve). I want to have time to make dinner every night. Or at least a handful of nights out of the week. I want to be busy with things I enjoy doing and living life. Sometimes I do worry about post MC life and not having enough to do, but I think at some point you just need to breathe.

And I'm very ready to breathe and live life a little slower. Because it's moving too fast on it's own. Remember? October is about to knock on our door. There is no need to keep rushing it along.
