Procrastination, Passion, and Paradox


I am already so behind on my reading. I don't think I'll ever catch up. Okay that is somewhat of an exaggeration. Its just that I don't have the weekends and it is kind of freaking me out. And I wrote everything into my planner today and just realizing when projects are coming up and when papers are due, etc also kind of freaked me out. This semester is going to FLY by. I mean it's practically already over. Okay, not really but seriously, 4 more weeks- spring break. After Spring Break, a couple of tests, a big project, finals and BAM! done. And get this. I will officially be senior status. It's true. I have enough credits that they already think that I'm a senior right now. How weird is that? We are going to be seniors- as in graduate- as in the rest of our lives- as in no more school...

Except let's face it. I'm a communications major- I'm going to HAVE and WANT to go to grad school for communications. It's true. I know its gonna happen. So, I guess I shouldn't give up on it. Wouldn't it be cool if I could get my masters at the University in Dresden? Okay, I know that is big time dreaming- especially because there's no possible way I could write my thesis in German but let's be honest- it would be cool.

So anyways, I'm so ready to get out but at the same time I'm not. I'm so ready to be married but at the same time it scares me so much. I'm so ready to move to Germany but then again I'm nervous. I think I live in a constant state of paradox. Here's a little quote from Ever After to better help explain the mystery that is myself:

Henry: How do you do it?
Danielle: What?
Henry: Live each day with this kind of passion. Don't you find it exhausting?
Danielle: Only when I am around you. Why do you like to irritate me so?
Henry: Why do you rise to the occasion?
