Today I started thinking about all the things I’ll get to do when I graduate. This is of course assuming there will be a period of time after graduation before entering into the real world…
- I can finally finish that book I started last summer. I’ve tried and tried to finish it, but it so happens that my “reading times” are so far apart that I often find I have to start over to remember what I’ve been reading. With no more textbooks to read, I should have plenty of time for that.
- Make the most of my Netflix. Netflix is a great thing, amazing actually. It defeats the purpose, however, when I sit on the same DVD for two months. Yep, with work and homework, I can hardly remember the last time I turned on the television, let alone watched a movie. Maybe after graduation I’ll be able to get my money’s worth.
- I’ll have time to clean my apartment. This becomes an after thought when I think of all the assignments I have coming up. With no assignments, I should be able to keep my apartment clean all the time. Well, most of the time anyway.
- Time to travel. I’ve already booked my ticket to go to New York after graduation. I’d like to think that a week in NYC to spend some of that graduation money is well deserved.
- See my best friend. We both graduate in Decemeber, but for the past four years, have lived six hours apart. Maybe now, we can actually make time to see each other.
- Keep dancing. Up until this semester, I was very involved in dance. I loved it and would dance 4-5 nights out of the week. You know what that number is now? It’s zero. That definitely needs to change.
- Catch up on all the TV episodes I missed out on. Grey’s Anatomy, The Hills, House and Heroes are just a few of my guilty pleasures.
- Read my magazines. I think I have a stack of about 20 fashion magazines on my coffee table that have yet to be cracked open. I see them on the rack, buy them with every intention of reading them, and then somehow find myself staring at a textbook instead.
- Visit my mom. She currently lives down in Richmond, VA. Apparently, it’s beautiful down there and when I have a free weekend, I have a plane ticket waiting for me. If only there was a free weekend. In six weeks there will be!
- Train to run a 10K. It’s sad, but exercise gets put on the backburner as well when it comes to school. The only thing that’s kept me in shape this semester is enrolling in MS150x (the class where you work out with ROTC at 6 am). Maybe after graduation I can find motivation on my own.
