My Graduaion Plan
October 19, 2009There are just a couple of weeks before the end of November, and, despite the cold weather, I’m starting to sweat. I still have no idea what I’m going to do after graduation, and a big deadline is fast approaching.
It will be brutal. It will be extensive. And it will smell like turkey.
While my parents are up to date on my adventures, I only spend time with the rest of my family on major holidays, such as Thanksgiving, where they usually ask me the same stock questions every year.
This fall, however, the annual Thanksgiving inquisition promises a change in repertoire. As a senior, I anticipate that the old classics — such as, “So, do you have a boyfriend yet?” –will be replaced by the new “Do you know what you are doing next year?”
As always, anything short of the desired answer — in this case, “Yes, and I’m going into some sort of professional graduate school” — will probably elicit lots of unwanted advice.
