I've been meaning to start a diary. I've never kept one before, but with graduation and my whole future looming in the distance, I wanted somewhere to reflect. In the end, I was too lazy and stingy to get an actual diary, so now I'll blog.
I finally heard back from the internship to which I applied. I didn't get it, but no surprise there; I was not, by far, the most qualified person. But I will not be deterred. I am cleaning up and updating my resume and applying to as many more internships as I can. I think I need some sort of real industrial chemistry experience to help me decide whether I want to get my B.S. and start working, or whether I should start applying to grad schools or PhD programs. I have mandatory department advisement with my research professor next week, and he always asks what I plan to do after graduation, and I always reply teach, work, or go to grad school, which is basically just naming all the possible choices. I wish I was one of those people who always knew what I wanted to do for a living. I always figured I'd end up in some sort of creative or artistic profession, but I didn't pursue it, and so here I am 18 units away from finishing my degree in chemistry and no clear idea of where I'm headed. I'm just trying not to worry too much about my future, in the end, I have faith that it will all work out the way it's meant to.
For now, I'm going to lay down in bed read my magazine and attempt to sleep since I hardly slept at all last night. Then I have a fun day full of homework and papers to look forward to tomorrow.
