The Next 8 Months of My Life are Planned Out

Now, don't get excited or nervous about the title of this post. There is no underlining, hidden meaning. I will not be locked up in a cabin in the woods somewhere for the next eight months, so don't get any ideas.

I just mean that I registered today for my Fall semester. Which means I am registered to go to school for the next eight months straight. Usually, I get excited about registering for the next semester. But I usually have a break -- Summer or Christmas -- in between. I haven't even started the Summer semester and I'm already locked in for Fall.

I mean, that's good. It's good that I'm going to school. It's good that after I finish the next two semesters that I've already registered for, I'll only have one more (relatively easy) semester to go before I graduate. But, man, knowing for sure what you HAVE to do for the next 8 months is a little stifling. A little suffocating. Hope I don't fly the coop.

FYI: My Fall semester is filled with all of the left-over core classes I have to take -- a science lab and a history class. Yuck. I think that's part of the problem. But when I get these out of the way, it'll be smoooooth sailin'.

(Also, I would just like to add that this picture was taken in a park in Dublin. Not by me. By a professional photographer.)
