I have reached a point in my life where I feel like I can virtually predict the happenings of every day for the next 14-16 months.
For the next 10 or so months I will be taking too many classes to facilitate working 30 hours a week, yet I will continue to work 30 hours a week. This means I will continue to have no free time, except that which I spend avoiding homework, which will eventually bite me in the ass, as it always does.
Every class I have left is a mundane required class that will bore me to tears. Every day at work will be virtually the same, programming labs that bore me, and fighting with my boss who thinks week long labs should be accomplished in a single day.
After graduation, I will be working 40 hours a week, or salaried which will mean they expect 60 hours out of me. At this point I will be doing nothing but working to try to pay down the remainder of my debt. Depending on the size of my debt by the end of school, this will take anywhere from 4 months to 2 years.
Budgeting over a year sounds about right, which puts me in line with the end of the lease on the apartment. Time to move. NYC most likely, which will cost a hell of a lot more. More importantly, holy shit there’s new people and stuff to do and possibly something NOT mundane and routine in my life! Ok, thats only 2 years and 2 months away.

Where’s the fast-forward button?

Yay for coming back to NYC though!
The 2 years will just fly by. Hell, it’s already almost May and I swear January was just yesterday!
As for me, I have about 1 and a half years to finish school and then figure out where I’m going with life.
I’m so lost. Hah! At least you have it somewhat figured out.

I think having it figured out is not so much of a blessing as one might think. I just posted this today, but I’ve been feeling more or less the same for the last 3 years. Another 2 is just cruel.
