Another week is already gone. It's shaping up to be a busy semester and time seems to be flying by. I guess that's good though, because it means that spring break will be here soon. In 5 weeks I'm going to the Dominican Republic! This will be my first visit to a foreign country (other than Canada) and I'm really excited. It should be an awesome time with a bunch of cool people. Speaking of which, this week has been pretty crazy with Cara and Megan coming back to visit before they head abroad for the semester. It's been fun hanging out with everyone, even if it means having to do homework until 3AM. Meanwhile, not much else has changed. I still have no idea where to start with the job search. I guess I'll get around to it eventually. (honestly) In the mean time, I'm just going to try and enjoy everything one day at a time.

And no, I'm not talking about D.C. I'm talking about the devils in control right here at Case. As if the bridge thing wasn't enough, I've got a whole new slew of grievances this week. It turns out that in order to audit a class here at Case, you need to coordinate with 4 different people in 4 different buildings. Of course none of them know what they're supposed to be doing, and of course none of them are ever in their offices. You're expected to run around and make it all happen. It's ridiculous. First I talked to my professor, who sent me to the registrar. The registrar won't let you audit online of course, so you need to get a drop/add slip signed by your advisor and the dean. The dean only takes walk in appointments, but only at certain times on certain days. My advisor is nowhere to be found pretty much ever. That sums up yesterday. So today my advisor was still not around when I checked. I went to the dean's office, but was turned away again because I didn't have a letter from my professor giving me permission to audit the class. Nobody had told me that, and when I went to find my professor, she wasn't there either. So now I've wasted two days and basically haven't gotten anywhere. Tomorrow is the deadline for dropping/adding classes, and so I assume that I'll have to get all of this settled by tomorrow as well. It really shouldn't be this complicated to take a class I'm already enrolled in and change it from credit to audit. I hate the way administrative things are run at Case. I'm glad I'm getting out of here.

Don't start with the title. Who starts with the title? Someone who knows what they're writing about. I don't know what I'm writing about yet. I guess the rest of my vacation was a blur. Things improved somewhat at home, but I didn't get to travel at all. This last week back at school has been chaotic. So many thoughts and concerns have been flying through my head. I should be taking things one day at a time and enjoying the easy part of the semester. I usually don't get overwhelmed so fast, but I think the realization that this is my last semester has been getting to me. I just keep questioning my position with everything. I realize I need to look for a job, but I'm still scared that I'm making a big career mistake, and I'm not sure I'm ready to "settle down" yet. I've also been needlessly panicking about classes when I haven't even had any work to do yet. Then on top of all that I've been confused about social stuff, as always. Don't get me wrong, things have been exciting and going well for the most part, but I just have this overriding anxiety about everything. I wish I had time to stop and think. I'm not used to being on edge all the time.
