what your heart's beating for

Hours today spent in advisors' offices, staring at DARS reports, and comparing time tables; has boiled down to this: I can graduate next May, but my senior year is going to blow. If i follow the plan i'd been set on since freshman year I could graduate in may with two degrees and would only have two, 12 credit easy semesters to coast through while battling seniorities. If i take this route i'll have only elective classes left, and therefor my classes will actually be enjoyable.

So why Katy do you say next year will blow?

Well my dear friend, in the past year education has become my refuge in study and work. Focusing research in Ecuador on Educacion Pre Escolar/Preschool Education, realizing the only area of econ classes I've taken for the past three years that I've actually enjoyed has been education, leading classes all summer; and absolutely loving my Ed Policy class this semester has made me wish I'd realized this earlier. Tacking on an Ed Policy certificate seems to be the most natural step in the world for me right now, except the small detail that it will cause me to have two 18 credit senior year semesters.

To coast through Senior year is looking pretty beautiful right now, but on the flip side, learning about education policies and bilingual education seems even more beautiful!

And when it comes down to it, this is life.why coast through it? Might as well go at it running up hill to build up lung capacity and strength so you can flex those big beautiful muscles to the world.
