Throwing The Books Out For Good!!
it's almost here, i've almost made it... i'm almost done with my formal edu-macation!! hehe... i can't wait really... i'm supposed to be studying but i think i can take a few minutes of time out to express my state of ecstacy to the world.
however, it hasnt' completely kicked in. i'm not in any way forgetting that i still have to read my textbook and past exams to get through this semester. it seems like a lot of work for a piece of paper. i suppose when the world measures your worth by what they think you know, then i guess it's really not worth it at all. in any case, it makes me happy that i've made it, so that's really the cliche of the glass being half full.
no more nail bitting, no more hair-pulling, and that's on day one when i'm sitting in for orientation! the road is coming to an end, and i shall soon be deemed "intelligent". postgrads are always saying how lucky we are that we're still in school and don't have to worry about all the problems that come with being in the work force. well, i've got news for them... i DO deal with the problems that come with my bf being in the work force and I'M not! i deal with the financial anxiety, i deal with problems with his boss, i deal with the late nights and the early mornings, i deal with the pre-interview panic attacks.... I MIGHT AS WELL HAVE BEEN WORKING TOO! so see? it's not like i don't know what i'm in for after my last exam. i might just turn out ok since i had a front-seat view of all the shit that happens when you're working. i understand that i will be frustrated... but i also know that i have a way of leaving work-related baggage at work. if i do need to vent about my boss, i have very sympathetic girlfriends. if i have a work-related problems, i have a one-man support group when i get home... so see? i'm almost all covered. now comes the fun part of actually going for the interview... hmmm....
