This week was full of surprises for me. I thought it was
going to be a fun last week of summer and while still fun, the week also took a
serious turn. I started working on this class early in order to get a good head
start and I started working again. I work on campus, so it is not too
difficult, but it feels almost stressful to be back on campus when no one is
around. I also love to walk around on OU’s campus, though, so it is fun, but
hectic.

I moved into a new apartment, which required way more work
than I thought that it would actually take. While everything is set up and put
away, I am still getting used to the idea of calling this apartment home. It
helps to have the same roommates, who also happen to be my best friends,
throughout the whole moving process!
I am curious to see what next week brings. I am excited for
school to start, but also nervous. Just recently, I found out that I am on
track to graduate early (December of 2016). While doing some research, I also
discovered that with some hard work, I could quite possibly graduate in May
2016 if I wanted to. This is good news, but also bad news. I thought I was
going to have a full four years at OU and now that is not the case. It is hard
to pick exactly what I want to do after graduation too. Do I want to try and
get a job or do I want to transfer directly into graduate school in order to
get my master’s degree? There are so many options, which are nice, but it also
makes every decision that I make more difficult.
Anyways, that was the rough summary of my week. I am looking
forward to writing about next week!
Wow, it sounds like things are going so good for you, Hannah! Wonderful! And my two cents' worth of advice: TAKE TIME OFF FROM SCHOOL. I say this from having taken off lots of time: I took two years off after high school, then five years off before graduate school — and I honestly learned as much (probably more...) from the really stimulating jobs that I had than I ever did in school. So especially if you can find a job that will be an exciting learning experience, I would say go for it! And you can always have grad school as a backup if you don't find a job you are excited about. How nice to have so many options in front of you...! And they all sound good!
