I keep hearing this damn country song that goes something like "You're gonna miss this, You're gonna want this back, You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast, These are the good years, so take a good look around ... You may not know it now, but you're gonna miss this"

Well you know what Mr. Country singer? I DO know it, and I'd appreciate if you would stop reminding me!!!

This semester is flying by and it's just about to speed up my gut tells me. I have a lot to look forward to: Johanna visiting (!!!), Spring Break in Daytona, Easter at home, Shamrock (the philanthropy I'm in charge of), SAE's formal in Bloomington Indiana, Coming home to see Sheila in Footloose at Fenwick, KD Formal and then all of a sudden it's time for all the senior stuff ... senior wills, senior walk and graduation. That week is going to smack me in the face when it gets here.

On the plus side, I applied for two jobs yesterday! Although I am becoming doubtful that I will find a job through careerbuilder.com ... It seems so sloppy and I don't want my future employer thinking I'm lazy and just googling or careersearching them. *sigh* but every little step in the right direction helps I suppose.

This summer is going to be veeeeeery weird. We're not all coming home to make some money with a summer job and hang out every evening. We're just going to be ... home. And hopefully working at a job that will last past August. And that is scary. But also kind of exciting.

Second semester senior year is a paradox. I finally feel like I am ready to let go of college and grow up, or at least grow out of Peoria. But at the same time I am having the time of my life and I'm not ready to be pushed out of the Bradley Bubble come graduation.

I swear I have more on my mind than career searches and the future ... but for some reason whenever I write in this thing that seems to be what comes out. That's probably because I don't feel the need to vent about any drama up here anymore. Which is also probably a sign up growing up. I mean yeah I still vent outloud to various members of my inner circle. But growing up is a process, right?

I hope everyone has fun on their respective spring breaks! :-)
