summer plans & senior panic

yesterday i got offered a summer job. well, actually, i got told i had a summer job. i'm not sure how i feel about that. more blogging on it to come, when i've sorted out my thoughts.

but anyways, this afternoon after class i was talking with a friend of mine about such summer plans, future plans, jobs, and general senior panic. thankfully, right now i don't have to worry about senior panic. i think anyone who has been through their last year of college knows what i'm talking about... the gutwrenching, fear inducing, out-of-control feeling that comes when you think about your future and the fact that it's not all nicely planned out like it always had been before... 12 or 13 years of grade school, then 4 years of college. what to do when post-secondary schooling is over... that is senior panic for me.

i partly by-passed it by the fact that i did five years of college (a year and a half of art school and three and a half years of Bible college), and then started seminary (grad school) this year. but, come december, i'll be done my m.a.

then what?

will i go out into the "real world"? does the real world even exist? will i be starting my "real life"? or has my real life already begun?

what does the future hold? only God knows. but he's taking me through it one step at a time.
