Alright kiddos, it looks like we've come to the end of the road. I just got a message on facebook congratulating me on a job well done on here. Guess that means I should stop writing. But I couldn't stop writing without saying goodbye!!!
So, goodbye. It's been a great time. I've had a really fun time posting on here for the world to see what I've been up to.
This is the last week for my internship as well (sigh). I don't think I've let it hit me yet, or the fact that I'll be graduating in less than two weeks, but it's all really QUITE frightening. Everyone keeps on asking me what I'll be doing after this week, and my only answer is that I'll be starting my professional waitressing career until I figure out what I want to do. Here are some possibilities... grad school in the fall or spring, (re)start my search for a real (degree appropriate) job, and ummm... yeah. That's about as far as I've gotten. I guess we could throw in the emergency option of "walk into JHC as if you're still an intern" after graduation plan... but, who am I kidding??? Pittsburgh Police would be there so fast I wouldn't know what hit me... not to mention, I'm not looking to have something like that on my permanent record...
So guess that's where I am... In complete and total uncertainty. When I say uncertainty... I mean COMPLETE uncertainty on all levels of life. About six months ago, I was convinced I had my life all figured out and under control... and now the only thing I know is that on July 1st, I'll be moving into a bigger (and more expensive) apartment... July 12th I'll be turning 23... and that I've got an amazing support system to keep my spirits high until I figure out what I'm going to do with my life. Clarion has prepared me for a lot of different things. The people I have met in life have done the same. But one thing's for sure... I have met the most amazing people and experienced some of the most unforgettable things during my five (yes... five... don't judge me... all the cool kids are doing it) years at Clarion University. There were times that it was tough, and I swore that I hated it there, but in all honesty, I think every person experiences that REGARDLESS of where they go... and in all honesty, I don't think I would change my decision for the world, cause I can't imagine my life any differently than how it's ended up so far. So I guess what I'm saying (to wrap things up) is that although I have no idea what I'm going to do with my life, I think things will end up alright. My parents have done a pretty amazing job of raising me, and I think I've had a pretty great experience my past 22 years... so I guess I'll just hold on to that faith that I'm gonna make it, and do exactly what I've always wanted to do, be who I want to be, and be happy with all of the decisions I make and how they pan out...
Maybe I'll post one last post someday... make another blog... let y'all know where it is, so you can read it (if I realy do have faithful readers out there)...
...until next time... this is Allison, signing off. ;P
Okay, seriously... if I let myself right now, I could totally start tearing up over here...
