This will be a big week.
First, I will finally be finished with all of my undergraduate coursework. Since I missed the last month of school for medical reasons, I've been working to wrap up my classes before the grace period ends. My thesis presentation is scheduled, and assuming I can get in touch with someone in the Communications Department on Tuesday, I'll be set to finish by the end of the week. If things work out, I'll still have a May graduation date, and I'll be able to pretend my last month of school never happened.
But finishing school, while stressful, isn't entirely enough to make this week a "big week." Instead, I'll have to make some decisions about what kind of position I'll accept for the summer. I'm already gardening and landscaping part time (and not much recently since I've been working on school), but I've learned I could start an AmeriCorps job as early as next week. Likewise, I've been applying for jobs as far apart as Mississippi, San Francisco, and Seattle, and I expect to hear back from at least one of those opportunities this week as well. What will I do? What's most important to me? Location? Money? Serving? I don't have enough information right now about any of it, so I'm presently stumped.
It's also a big week because the lease on my darling Muncie house ends on Tuesday. I still have some things-- ok, a LOT of things-- in the house that I need to move out today and tomorrow. Moving out is bittersweet. I already miss my house, but now that I might be accepting a job soon, I feel like it's appropriate to move on.
Wish me luck! I'll see you on the other side.
