Malaise?
Maybe.
Well, the semester’s over and I am already feeling that familiar post-semester purposelessness. I'm not really missing my classes this time around (they all kinda sucked), but it just gets lonely in the summer. And I am even losing my best buddy to greener, post-collegiate pastures at some point this summer. So you can kinda see why I considered hanging onto D just to keep from being alone. :) If only she were...nicer. :)
But I'll be fine, though. I always am. I somehow manage to fill up my days, reading lots of books out on the deck, and then the next thing I know, it's late August, school is starting up again, and I am wondering where the summer went.
I DO have a short three week class to keep me busy for, well, three weeks. I actually scheduled it during my least favorite time of day for deck-hanging-out. Brilliant, that.
But it's weird seeing another batch of friends, acquaintances, and associates leave Mount Pleasant, knowing that it will be the last time I witness this yearly migration. This time next year, it'll be me. Wow. I can't wait. The coming school year will certianly be interesting. I have five more classes in the fall, including methods classes for English and History, then student teaching in the spring.
I still haven't decided where I want to student teach. I mean, of course it would be pretty effortless to walk over to MPHS every day, but that is also pretty played out. If I could guarantee getting into Okemos or Grand Ledge, I'd sign up for Lansing. Or if I could stay at my Dad's summer house in Lake City, I could do Cadillac or Traverse City. I really wish I could figure out a way to do it in K-Zoo, since that's where I want to teach. Hell, I even want it to be an adventure, which is why I am considering the Domincan Republic and Australia. But I'll bet you $3 I end up doing it in Mount Pleasant.
Okay, today's graduation day here at CMU, and I have been invited by Allan's folks to tag along with their huge reservation party at the Embers. Pretty cool, that. So I'd better go make myself pretty.
Hasta!
