Well, I received some excellent news on Friday evening on my way to dinner with my parents and grandparents, I successfully passed all my classes this past quarter, which means I have exactly 4 classes and 1 quarter separating me from graduation and life. The classes definitely won’t be easy, but I’m so ready to be done I’m not going to let anything stop me.

I my spring break week working, which to most will sound utterly repulsive, but for me it worked ( no pun intended). I enjoy working like a normal person, I might say that now I know that will change once I’m able to do it full time, but I’m optimistic in what it will bring me. Looking back on this last quarter it really started to settle with me, that I would be done, and out in the world for real finally. It definitely frightened me a little bit, even though I’ve been out in the real world working since I was 13 I’ve never worked full time for a whole year before. Most people only get to see me in short bursts, a week full time here, or a few days scattered troughout the month. Knowing that all that I have known for the past 16 years is going to change has me on edge. I know ultimately that things will work out, but a change is still a change and people in general don’t seem to like them.

Tonight I saw “Yes Man” for the first time. I’ll admit it was corney, but I really enjoyed the message. I’m definitely guilty of being a No Man in certain cases, and it’s nice to see things turn out on the other side of the fence. It made me think about times that I had said “No” in the past when I really should have just gone for it. I have a very specific view of who I am and what I like which causes me to close down doors in a lot of cases. I don’t think this film will turn me into a Yes Man, but I think it definitely will make me think twice the next time one of those questions comes along.
