Today is the first day of classes - hooray! As I begin my third and final year of graduate school at DePaul, I can't help but think about where I'll be a year from now. At this point in 2005, things should not be the same.
But what should they be like? Hmmm.... I think I'll be in a new job by then - as much as I enjoy Saint Joe, there's only so much time you can spend at your alma mater before you start craving change. That also means that I won't be in Rensselaer, as it's not the type of town that's flooded with professional openings. I'll be a year older; more startling is the fact that I will be closer to 30 than 20.
I could be married with child (not likely), or at least engaged (maybe). I could be an aunt, a godmother, a bridesmaid (I hope!). Holy crap, I could be addicted to The Swan. Who's to say?
But for now, I will try and focus on the present.

Silly, Frema. Trix are for kids!
