It is November. How can it already be November? I truly believe that once you have worked at Project Transformation, you always measure time by how long ago Project Transformation was, and how long from now it may be...3 months and 4 days ago...6 months and 2 weeks from now...
November is an interesting month. For me, it has always been when everything falls apart, and then when everything comes back together. In college, this has always been the month that brings endless assignments, deadlines, projects, and so on, all due before Thanksgiving break. Procrastination finally catches up from the rest of the semester, and piles on the workload, keeps piling it on! Then work and school, work and school, oh, and don't forget to find a spring internship. Not just any internship, but an internship that matters. As if that's not stressful enough, an unpaid internship, on top of a paid job and classes. It's all really too much for one person, isn't it?
But then....after Thanksgiving....everything comes to a halt. Nothing is due until finals week, and the only thing that's left is waiting.
Waiting, waiting waiting. Waiting for a train to go or a bus to come, or a plane to go or the mail to come....
Okay, but this is really what it feels like to me. I realize it's all pretty standard, but the 16th year of school gets kind of monotonous! I wish that I wasn't just "waiting" because once it's over, it's over. Maybe I will be sad, maybe I will be happy, but either way, the end is near and I will never be going back to college. And you can't make me.
(disclaimer - not that I didn't like it, etc, waste my money, etc, jumping the gun on life, etc, I get it I'm very fortunate, it's just time!!)
