Where do I begin?

As I was reading other people's blogs, I noticed a common theme. It seems that most people in the class are stressed out with all of their classes and worried about their future. I guess because I am just a sophomore, I am not stressing too much about my future yet. I think about it often but I am not all that worried. The thing I don't understand is where I will go after college. I am sure I can get a job but where? After high school, I knew I would go onto college wherever that may be. Now I'm not sure how it works. I could go anywhere I wanted and that is intimidating to me. Do I go back home? Do I stay here in Wake County? Do I get my Masters right away or should I wait a few years to make sure teaching is for me. I got through phases when I worry and then at times I am so excited. I definitely think about my future but I am not stressing about it yet. I guess that time will come before I know it because time really does fly. I cannot believe that I will be halfway done with my college career soon. It seems impossible to me.

I am studying abroad this summer in Italy and Switzerland. I am very excited about it because I have never been abroad but I am also very nervous. I went to a meeting Sunday and they pretty much outlined everything that could go wrong. Now, I am terrified. I am not going to smile at any man while I am in Italy because apparently it is an invitation. I'm also going to cling to all of my money and valuables because they are going to be stolen. I am sure everything will be fine but the meeting did scare me a little bit. I am so excited to be studying abroad but I am definitely going to miss the time spent at home. I try to stay at school most weekends so going home is a treat for me. I loveee Franklin and I hate that I won't get to spend much time there this summer. A lot of people live at the beach for the summer but I don't have much time left to live at home. I want to take advantage of the time I have left to live at home. I can't believe in two years, my house in Franklin won't be my home anymore. I will be out on my own and have my own place...even if it is just an apartment.

I could talk about nothing forever so I will stop here.
