Packing up summer

As I am finishing putting away my computer and tapes, I wanted to say something about this summer.

One, there's never enough time even though everyone spends at least a week's worth of time feeling bored and clutching the remote. And the time you do spend with people is never enough, and you never get to see everyone you wanted.

And, as an incoming senior in college, I've been mulling over exactly what I'm going to do after BC. Sure, I still have a year, and I'm not in the position of many of my friends who are already out. But with a poor economy stretching into the horizon, and no graduate school foreseen for me right now, summer has been a little restless.

But, at the same time, summer has been exciting. I've been able to work with great professionals in broadcasting and also do some projects on my own. I've had the opportunity to begin learning Turkish which has been really stimulating coming from a history in dead languages. So, although the end of summer means the beginning of many unknowns, I'm ready for them.

And to my fellow seniors who will be joining me this year in packing up our last summer for a trip into the big unknown. Let's have a blast and enjoy the ride. Next year is still a year away.
