Buckling down...

It's that time of year... when all of a sudden the end is nigh, but there's so much to do before I can get there. This time is always filled with a lot of anxiety, and I can't believe it's come up so soon. Grad school is almost over and I feel like it's just begun. In the next few weeks, I'm afraid I need to go into hibernation. What a shame, given the beautiful weather we've been having these days.

I wish I could be officially committed to my job post-graduation. I haven't yet seen any paperwork, and random things that are coming my way are, I must admit, somewhat interesting to consider.

On another note, as I approach the end of my degree, I find myself still somewhat perplexed. I thought doing a Master's was supposed to help me clarify/narrow my specific interests but I feel like they're just as broad as when I began, if not even more so. So many things to think about, to read about, to talk about... Part of me wishes I could just be part of a community of people who were interested in these things and shared resources and thoughts. Do I really need to be in school for that? Do I need to do research myself and publish? Get another degree? Not anytime soon, anyways. We'll table that discussion for a little while longer yet...
