Happy New Year
So here I am, in 2008. A few minutes ago I tried to check the archives for my first post of 2007 — and remembered that I accidentally deleted it when I forgot to backup the database. So much for a cute little where-I-was-12-months-ago retrospective.
At any rate… 2008. For the first time in, well, ever - I’m looking down the calendar at a year about which I know absolutely nothing. Gone is the monotony stability routine of going to school and getting paid semi-regularly. One or the other - or both - has been the sum total of my life for the better part of the last two decades. Now, suddenly, I have neither.
I’m looking forward to 2008. I am excited about 2008. I have no idea what the year is about to throw at me, yet I am actually optimistic about 2008.
This is gonna be good.

Postponed - in a sense.
It’s That Time Of Year Again (for us poor eternal students, anyhow…). I realized yesterday that it’s a sign of Sara-needs-to-get-the-fark-out-of-school when the department secretary takes an advising block off my account, without asking me whether I had already/will be in the future/would even possibly consider seeing an advisor — no paperwork, no signature, just a general idea of doing everything within her means to get this poor soul out. At this point, everyone and their brother knows that, um, you really don’t want to make Sara jump through one more hoop.
So anyhow. During my day of self-advisory-goodness, I came to a realization (which shan’t be reprinted here, as I apparently have attracted an audience under the age of 18). There is a single, solitary, isolated class required for graduation: which won’t be offered until Fall 2007. Happy. Joy. Yay. Hopes, dashing thereof.
Or… perhaps not. Reasons for all things, and all that — and an unexpectedly free Summer07 is strangely inviting. So for those of you that pray, if you would do so, I would be grateful. Otherwise, please keep me in your thoughts for a while.
