With just one more semester of college I have a lot to do:
Earn 12 more credits
Finish an honor thesis (on the comparison between Ries Hastings and Hovey Lake decorated pottery)
Find a job here
Find a job for the real world
Get letters of recommendation
Survive
It doesn't seem like a lot, but I feel as though I might go crazy. There's all this pressure to get everything done. I have to do this honor thesis which will be what makes or breaks me for the next few months. I have been working on the research since this summer, but I still have an entire site of data to gather along with reading and other references that could help me out.
Getting a job after graduation is probably most important despite my thesis. CRM work will be hard to find since the ISS project on the East St.Louis site will be coming to a close and the market will be flooded with those with much more experience than me. I want to work with a friend that is currently in Wyoming. She had wanted me to work with her this summer, but I couldn't because I was working in the lab. Perhaps they will still have use for me.
I don't want to leave my family or friends, but I know that there are no jobs for me here. I will probably end up far away. It will be worse now that I have a boyfriend that I'm extremely attached to (he won't be graduating for a while). I'm scared to start out on my own.
But I'm really terrified about being alone.
