So technically that's actually an AFI song title. But also it is apt for this moment.
Classes ended last Wednesday and I'll be in the US for two weeks, starting in approximately 9 days. So, literally there are greetings and good-byes right now (especially as my friends here head off on exotic adventures elsewhere, though not all of them are doing so). Of course it is also a convenient title for thinking about my future. WHICH, YOU KNOW, when am I not--particularly when on a 9-month programme?
Well, in a second. First, I want to say: woooo for the end of classes! Now I can spend even more time in vegan dinner parties (x3 in a single week, + formal holiday-themed dinners ['Hall's] in College), and singing music, and working on......myy applicaaaationnnnsssss for my future! Regardless of what happens with these, I'm actually genuinely excited to be preparing my paper statements, &c, because they're making me feel (shock!) good about myself, and are giving me a chance to say so many things I've wanted to say, making connections between my past decisions and my future aspirations, explaining everything about what I want and why I want and whence came this want. I love writing these things! Even if no school, at all, lets me in, I will still be happy that I got the chance to finally pull all the strings together and express to someone else--to an admissions team!--why I am who I am, why I want what I want, why I've done what I've done. I know I'm being endlessly repetitive here, but this is my manic high, so, gimme a break. Of that Kit-Kat bar. Anyway. I feel so happy! I feel so proud of my decisions and my path and I don't care if no one else appreciates it, because I've just reminded myself of everything about myself that I actively chose and still stand behind.
And, you know, there's always life beyond grad school!
Love to all, and happy December. Solstice is just around the corner! My, how time flies. Eventually I will do real work for my course here. I swear it.
