The first semester of my senior year of college was quite hectic. I was the Alumnae Relations Chair for my sorority, I was on the senior rep for Centre Democrats, and I was prepping to go abroad. On top of that I got mono and a sinus infection at the same time. Needless to say, I was stressed. But, the thing that worried me the most was my future. I would be graduating that year and I had no idea what I was going to do with myself. I knew that I wanted to continue my education after my bachelor's degree, but not immediately. In one of those glorious senior panics, I wound up in the office of my American Literature professor. I asked him what on earth I was going to do with myself. In a succinct and gentle manner, he replied that I would live. That was just what I needed to hear.
In my time after graduation, I have lived (despite evidence to the contrary that this blog has not been updated since June). In fact, I enjoy my life. In August, I was hired to the job of my dreams. I am the technology coordinator for the historic Pine Mountain Settlement School. In addition to working on community broadband advocacy, I am the director of the oral history project. I live in a wonderful community and enjoy a slower pace of life. I think this blog will reflect that over the next year. There is life after Centre.
