I bought Milk today, and it expires on December 18th. What does that mean? you may ask...
It means that on the day I graduate from college, the day that I have to actually step out into the real world and start fending for myself, that this half gallon of milk, will still be good. This doesn't distress me because the milk will last that long, but instead, that my Collegiate career will end before the milk...
I'm not really ready to step out into the real world. I have enjoyed College far too much. I enjoy classes. I enjoy my friends. I enjoy the independence. And soon, in time before milk will spoil I will have to graduate and leave all this behind.
I'm leaving it all behind, for what? I'm not going on some amazing trip to help poor people in Africa, or a three month bender in Europe. I don't have a fantastic job, I don't even have a not so fantastic job. I'm not even getting married...yet. I am going to go back home, to my mother, father, two golden retrievers and a cat for the next 6 months before exchanging those vows.
I feel like that song by Stealers Wheel, "Stuck in the Middle with You"...wondering what it is I should do. My time back home is temporary...Hopefully only lasting until my wedding day, but my future is very uncertain. The only thing I know for certain is that on June 6th I'll be wearing a big white dress, but that's about it. My FH (Future Husband for all you non sorority girls) is graduating this December as well, and will be heading to Law School in the Fall of 2009 - which seems so far away despite only being 8 months... We've gotten only one acceptance letter so far, in our hometown, and I'm not quite ready to make that a permanent location again...Only time will tell where we will head, and thus where I should begin my own job search. However, despite knowing where to look for a job, this really doesn't narrow down the list of potential jobs for me, for I have ABSOLUTELY no idea what I want to do...
