Super Senior

So this week was the first week back at U of M for me and my fellow classmates. It wasn’t too exciting, at least not from my perspective. I guess it was because all we did was go over the syllabus and find out what the class was about. I wasn’t exactly squealing with joy.

So this is my last year at U of M Flint. I will be graduating in May 2011. I am really excited to enter the work force. I am not looking forward to trying to find a job in the economic climate that we are in, though. I’m hoping the economy improves by the time that I graduate in May. That’d be nice, at least.

Now the question is “What are you going to do with your life?” I’ve heard that a lot recently. I guess it makes sense since I will have to start looking for a job within a year or so. At this point I don’t know. I envision myself teaching English overseas someplace when I graduate for a few months or so.

I cannot imagine staying here all my life. I can imagine staying in Michigan for a little bit of time, at least until I figure out my life plans and all that jazz. I would like to move out of Genesee County, though. That’d be nice. I’ve learned to love Flint in a way that any student loves their college town. I want to explore other places around the world, though. I would love to become a world traveler and expand my language knowledge beyond Spanish and English.

Another thing I’d like to do even if it’s just on the side and I don’t make a dime off of it is to write. I love writing and all it encompasses. I guess I have a well of creativity deep inside of me that yearns to be freed. One of the creative urges I have is to write poems, songs and short stories. There are times that I go without writing much and it’s weird. I still go on living, but it’s at a slower, less exciting pace. It’s not as thrilling, I guess.

The world is at my fingertips and the only direction I can go is up. I have all these visions for myself and I only hope for them to come true. Without dreams, you are only existing and not actually living. It’s possible I just quoted someone without my knowledge. I apologize if this is the case.
