Ready to escape.

This isn't going to be as long as some of my previous posts, but I just want to take a little time to reflect on some conversations I've had in the past couple days.

My friends and I have been talking about Graduate Schools, being done with Undergraduate stuff, and moving on to the "real world." It has began to hit me that I'm ready to move on to bigger and better things. I have done my time here at Grand View, I did some time at Marshalltown Community College, and I want to start studying things that really matter to me. That is not to say that everything I have learned has been for not, I just feel as if it is time to specialize. My general understanding of the world isn't getting any deeper, so it's time to start picking areas of life that I really care about; granted I'm not sure exactly what that is yet. I am still working out the details of exactly what I want to get out of life, however the time is coming. I'm looking into Grad schools, readying myself mentally for moving to somewhere completely new, and psyching myself up for whatever else might come. It's time to figure out why I've latched on to the ideas that I have--time to explore the depths of my knowledge rather than expand my understanding.

So, I stole a lot of this from what my friends had to say in our conversations, but nonetheless. I might reflect on this a bit deeper later, I just wanted to get it down so that I wouldn't forget. Here's looking forward to the next step!
