It is early Friday morning, 6/9/06, and I've slept maybe 15 minutes since yesterday morning.
With the final I took yesterday, I completed all of the requirements for a physics major here, meaning that I can use my remaining 108+ credits here to whatever end I wish. A second major in chemistry? A minor in chemistry, if the major doesn't work out? How about a double-minor with government? I just don't know. Coming into college, I knew exactly what I wanted to do, but now that that goal has been achieved I'm lost, like many of the freshmen that have been through this campus. The difference is that now I'm a junior, both by credit and terms completed, and anything I do needs to be crammed down into two years.
Weirder still is that I'll be in Portland in less than a week. Not home. Portland is just a place to visit at this point; my friends, my job, my life... they all pretty much exist uniquely in Appleton now, with a few very select exceptions. I really don't even want to go back to Portland, but for a handful of reasons. I don't want to pack up my room, either. This 8'x12' ex-closet is my space, the only place I've ever really been able to call my own, but its possession is just transient. Two weeks from today I'll be back in Appleton, moving all of my belongings into a room in a dorm on the other side of campus, and two months after that I move into yet another room.
Maybe I'll start packing up. I don't leave until Monday, but I have absolutely nothing better to do with my time. Weird...
