I'm officially half way done with my masters degree. Thank goodness, because I'm really feeling stir crazy here in Houghton. It just seems like everybody is going, or already gone, and I'm just standing still. Even Laura, my best friend and pledge sister has decided to leave Tech (shes not graduating, she just feels that transfering down state is the best thing for her, and selfishness aside, I agree). This fall, the thought of graduation and leaving Houghton scared the hell out of me, so, when I graduated in December, I stayed for grad school. Now, the though of one more semester kills me. There just isnt a whole lot left for me anymore, or at least thats the way it feels. I know that once I'm done, I'll miss all this crazy college life stuff, but none the less, right now, I just want it to end. Reading all the other alum blogs makes me want my 'real life' to start just that much more too. I know its coming - Josh has been saving for a ring for months now (he's saved $2,500 already!) and I expect to be engaged by Christmas. Not that I 'expect it', I'm just smarter than Josh (because women are just naturally smarter than men in that way), and I can call most of the moves he makes even before they pop into his testosterone filled brain. The coming months hold a lot of uncertainy too, which makes me even more agitated. The only certain thing is that this summer I'll be in Peoria, IL, but after that, who knows. I will, of course, be back in the fall for one more round of graduate school hell, but this fall will be so busy with Josh and I both graduating and trying to find jobs in the same city - then packing, moving, etc. I know I'm making this all sound so bad, when its really not at all - it just seems like the world keeps spinning faster and faster, and I'm standing still, watching....

Life still keeps going warp speed after graduation! I feel like my life is a high-speed train, flying by, and I'm just trying to hang on for the ride!
Enjoy what little time you have left in college... you'll miss it once it is gone.
Of course, then you can always come up for walk and feel "young" again with the new AGDs :-)
You definitely will miss MTU, but it is different. In my opinion, life just keeps getting better after college. College was the time to go crazy and make the most of it. And now, there is so much I am learning and taking in. It would be nice to see my friends a bit more often, but life pulls everyone in all different directions. Thank goodness for e-mail and blogs!!!
I agree with Heather, senior walk is a great way to feel "young" again with Alph Gams. It just makes you realize that you can't hang like you used to...lol
I remember being in the same boat, and not being able to wait to start the real world. Now life involves things like car insurance, searching for a sitter, and dragging my butt out of bed everyday at 6am. Enjoy school while it lasts!! But I know the anxious feeling. Good luck!
