Impatience

Do you ever find yourself wishing you could put your life into fast-forward? I don't know if that's a common feeling among others, but that's kind of how I feel right now. Maybe I'm just not a school person, but I'm in this state of mind right now where all I can think about is how much I want school to be over and done with so that I can go on to bigger and better things. Considering I'm a Media Production student and all we ever seem to hear about our futures is how little money we will make, you would think I'd be somewhat reluctant to step into the future. But I'm an optomist and I always have been. I can't help but take a positive approach, in this case anyway. Therefore, I am not too worried about my future job prospectives. Perhaps it would be smarter to worry a little more but I just don't see the purpose in that. There are a lot of things I'd like to do with my education when I graduate next year, but if things aren't looking good, luckily I can always just go back to school (preferably not 2 hours away from my girlfriend). Ahh there it is! It was only a matter of time before the girl factor got brought up. I have been dating an beautiful girl with an incredible personality for nearly 7 months now, pretty much since the school year started. People always say long-distance relationships don't work. I would tend to agree, having experienced that in the past, but this has been more of a part-time long-distance relationship, and I could not ask for it to be any better by this point. I go home usually every second weekend - I'd go home more often if gas wasn't so damn expensive - and although it doesn't seem like I see her nearly enough, it has sufficed. I guess that's what I'm most impatient about. After school is done, jobs will come and go, but I can't wait until I can be with her every day.
