i still need to create a final version of my literary journalism piece and write all the files to a DVD disc. that's due on friday. and i got my 13 page paper deadline moved back. thankfully. so i'll have the weekend to work on that.
i was thinking last night that the only comparison i can make to how i feel during this week is apparation. that's via Harry Potter. like i'm being squeezed through a very small hole. pressure on every side. stress is bad for your health, but i don't think i've ever figured out how to combat it.
another thought crossed my mind today on the way to school...how worth it was going to college? which is a funny question. the obviously answer is it was definitely worth it. and then i think about how far in debt i've gone coming here. multiply $14,000 by 4. was my education really worth that money? i think i grew up a lot while i was here. i think my job was worth me coming here. but when i stop and assess all the knowledge that its my head it doesn't feel like its worth $50,000. i don't even remember all of it. i do think italy was worth it. i don't know. now that it's
coming the end i'm not surprised i'm analyzing things like this. i think i'm on the fence. i feel like i really paid for the classes and the place to live and the food. so that's what i want to measure. in actuality there are all these extra pluses that came with paying that money, new friends, freedom, a job, confidence, learning to cook, learning to live on my own, learning a tons of other life skills.we'll see how i feel in the spring when i'm actually graduating. i spose if i land a huge job that i'm going to love i'll think it was totally worth it. lol.
your turn: how would you measure your own college experience?
