12 weeks and counting

And one of those is a break! Yes, in 2 weeks I will be finished with my senior project (then it's one class remaining until graduation). I can't WAIT to have that one week off. I hear that the second half of he project actually isn't that bad, but with my luck it will be. I'm pretty good at making the "easy" things hard.

Take my project, for example. I could have gone with the causes and solutions to something like a poor educational system or gender discrimination, both of which have some element that get people fired up, but no - I had to choose political apathy, which by definition, isn't exactly exciting. I've got about 2 weeks to make it exciting. I'm not tired of the subject, it's interesting, but I need to come up with some zip!

I'm really not interested in graduating in the silly cap about gown. The degree means something to me, but it's not like this is a sure-fire way for me to get a better job. I was hoping to figure something out, but I also didn't expect to go such a political route. I blame my adviser for that. Yeah, that's right, I made things hard on myself by choosing a senior project topic in his area of expertise. So anyway, the cap and gown thing doesn't do anything for me. It didn't in high school, it didn't when I graduated from the local JC. Heck, I've attended the graduation ceremony of a relative who got his doctorate. There's only one way I could top that!
