As of five PM last friday, the spring 2008 semester at the University of North Dakota ended. Given as how I entered in the Fall of 2004, I have now completed four calendar years at this particular institution. Being as how I'm not done with the program (probably another year to go) I am now officially a Super Senior.
It's not really someplace I want to be. I'm financially independent, live in my own apartment, have a car that you wouldn't expect to see Click and Clack the Tappet Brothers cruising around in. I maintain a job that pays the bills, I even have a resume and coverletter that I could, if necessary, modify for use for another company. I'm pretty much ready to enter the real world as a productive (albeit lazy and eccentric) adult.
But I can't. Even if I want to move somewhere else, meet new people, do far more interesting things, I can't. I almost have a college degree, which means I don't have a college degree. Granted I should be finished with my commercial pilot's certificate, so I'll have a marketable skill, but the degree lends it even more credence. Also, a degree is required for my plans after college.
I really don't want to be here though.
