My Next Step

Well guys and gals, I've finally come to the end of my college days. I've had a couple serious conversations with some of my friends concerning this so-called natural progression of a person's life but have stubbornly adopted the idea that it's not a big deal. Looking back, I didn't learn very much concerning the specific degree I received, and if you ask any of my friends in my major, computers was just something I wasn't very interested in or wanted to learn anymore than being able to send e-mails to my friends and write certain microsoft office type things, which I already knew how to do. But then the point arises that many people don't finish college and the fact that I was able to get a degree in a reputable field should stand for something. This is true. Another point arises that looking back you don't realize how much you've learned or absorbed while in school. I mean how many people can recite everything they've learned in college when someone asks. I'm sure all that stuff is stored somewhere in one of the many lobes or oblongatas of my brain. Let's just hope I have the password and will be able to access it when or if need be.

I'm listening to U2's Joshua Tree, which seems very fitting since "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," is playing. But it looks like I'm making a pretty big step, hopefully, in the direction of finding out what's really going on. In a couple of weeks I'll be working in the Air Force and be in a new place with all new faces. But this time it's for real. Not that high school or college wasn't real, but I think it's set in that now I'm actually a grown-up. Let's just hope I won't have to act that way all the time. That would be no fun. In conclusion, I am proud of myself, and I think that's ok. McKayla and Jason, I'm sorry for being so damn stubborn in the car that day when we were discussing this. I think maybe I was just a little bitter for having to put up with it for 5 years. One of those "damn the system" type moods. You know how it is. Thanks.
