Senior year...well, while it is very much a blessing in all of it's rights, it comes at a very different calibur than the previous 3 years. The routine is familiar which makes it manageable however, the weight of being a senior and knowing that come this time next year I will have to have a real full-time job. And not only one that is a full-time job, but hopefully one that i can build a career off of! Ahh!
Last week was filled with feelings of growing up and being on the far edge of childhood. The rough draft for my Senior Capstone paper for my History degree was due...needless to say I was swamped all week! God bless my roommates for understanding when I had overtaken the kitchen table with my work.
Working towards my History degree at times makes me a little nervous because career paths in History are not always abundantly available. It just so happens that I have a work-study position in the Student Development office here on campus where offices such as The Counseling Center, Residence Life, Campus Ministry, Student Retention and the Career Center are located. Mike Theobald, the Director of the Career Center can offer some great advice for people like me-those who don't quite know what is available to them and want some help...we had a little chat last week and I definitely recommend the Career Center and it's services!
The Social Mentors also had their annual trip to the Haunted Houses here in Kansas City! While I unfortunately could not go (yes...I still had to work on my paper) I know it was a success. many people returned saying they had a blast! Next thing on the Social Mentor agenda is Ice Skating at Crown Center! I can't wait!Well...in light of this wonderful fall day I have a great bike-ride planned and a trip to the park with Joe!
Have a wonderful week everybody...and please don't kill eachother after the election results come in! ;-)
