Everybody put your pencils down

Well, another semester has come and gone, and I must say, I really do think that this is the best semester that I've had since beginning the whole "college" thing. The reason is quite simple really. I care now. "But didn't you care before?" Of course I did, but I'm older now and have a direction in my life that I didn't have when I was 18 and straight out of high school, so I actually want to do well in my classes and want to get everything over with as quickly as I can so that I can move on to a career that doesn't involve asking how somebody's dinner was.
I am, for those of you that don't know, working on my degree in English with a concentration in Creative Writing. I plan to be a teacher after I get said degree and do the whole masters thing, but that's requiring me to go back and take a number of classes that I wouldn't have had to take had I stayed with my initial major of psychology. "Why did you change your major when you were about to become a junior?" (I love how I know exactly what everybody will ask) I changed my major because I realized that psychology wasn't something that I wanted to do for the rest of my life, but I could see myself teaching, and I always enjoyed the material we studied in high school english, even if my teachers were a bit lacking (I only really liked one of them in 4 years of high school).
But, to get back to the point, the semester is done, and now I have a whole month to work and relax and see my girlfriend and do some writing of my own, which I did a good bit of today, and actually post to here more than once every three weeks, though I don't know that I'll ever post as much as Brad, I just don't have that kind of free time (just kidding). I hope everybody has a good holiday season and for those of you out there that might actually read this and are in the middle of finals yourself...GOOD LUCK!
