Growing up fast

I've just discovered I haven't actually written an entry since January. It is now April. Where have I been?

I'm almost done at university now. So soon this blog will take a new twist. No longer about my university experience. But entering the 'real world'! Scary.

Since January I have gone into my final semester of university. One of my modules was done in 8 weeks rather than 13. And my other module is coming to an end. I have a presentation left to do. Also there is my dissertation. It feels like I just have more and more work to do. Rather than it finishing. But I know in a few weeks time it will all be over. And I'll soon be sat wondering what on earth am I going to do next. That's the scary thing.
I recently went for a job and after the application form I got into the next round. However, after that they decided I wasn't right for the job. However, I do have an interview coming up. Not sure how that will go. I'm looking at staying in the Tyne and Wear area of England. I just don't know how I am going to do that. Still.

However, graduation is the next big thing for me. That opened on Wednesday. It will cost a small fortune, but I have been working for that day for years and I can't wait to be there and experience it. It's probably not going to live up to my expectations. But I will be so proud to walk along the stage, receive my piece of paper and have my photo taken in my robe and hat. I'm starting to feel quite grown up. Especially since my boyfriend is now in the process of setting up his own business. Making him self employed. And technically a businessman. That will certainly make me feel quite grown up when that exists officially.

I'm not sure how ready I am for the next stage in life. I'm ready to leave university and not study any more. For that I know I am ready. But for what comes next? I'm unsure. Sometimes I wonder if I should've planned for a gap year. I didn't have one between college and university and I wonder whether I should now. I may not get the chance. But as I'm not too bothered about travelling and to get any experience in what I want to do I would really need to work, there seems little or no point.
Don't get me wrong, I am excited to see what happens next. I just wish sometimes, I knew.
