So, like the 2008 Presidential election, my undergrad is entering its home stretch which means months and months and months to go. Technically, I have two classes left in my major, but I haven’t done my language requirement, so thats going to delay everything. In the meantime, I’m not that far away from a second major in Political Science, so it looks like I’ll be double majoring - something I never even contemplated when I got back into school.

Being an undergrad at 30 can be demoralizing, but what else is there to do? I’m so in debt at this point it’s almost insane. I’m not going to take any more loans after this semester which means I will have to find a “real job” while I go to school. Fuck. Why can’t we just have free education?

I’ve also decided to alter my grad school direction just a bit and pursue the conflict resolution program here at UNCG. Maybe then I’ll do another masters in Middle East studies, or just go ahead and start working on a doctorate (something that is still hard to comprehend).

I really hope there’s some kind of job out there in the next few years, or I’m basically screwed.
