The homestretch is in sight

There is a duopoly of feelings when I think back to the year I finally left the army. A major contradiction plays out as it seems like it wasn't that long ago while also being longer than an eternity. I took time off, got a temporary summer job, then went back to school that fall. 2013 was pretty eventful. I got so caught up in school that I neglected other parts of my life. I fell out of the fandom, I lost touch with old friends, my world shrank to a small area around me, my social life basically died.
Well, here I am. On Thursday I will wrap up my summer semester. Towards the end of August I will begin my last year at the Colorado School of Mines. It has been among the most difficult and stressful endeavors I have ever taken on. There were numerous times when I felt like quitting, my pressed on either due to stubbornness or laziness, probably both. I still have my doubts about how I will continue after school. As far as the professional side goes, I do not think I will ever enter graduate school. I just do not have the funds, time, focus, or clear cut goal for that sort of thing. At this point I will be happy with graduating. I have yet to find anything within my field that I'm really interested in or good at. I'm really feeling the burden of my learning disabilities, I doubt typical engineering employers would want to hire me, so I will have to find my own way in life.
The only time I really enjoy geology is when I can show it to anyone who is curious about it. I was really sick of thinking about geology until I talked with an artist friend of mine. She is starting to incorporate gemstones into her paintings and we had a wonderful conversation about it. It is quite refreshing to have that. It is a shame that my classmates have such a different focus, it's hard for me to connect with them.
I am looking forward to graduating in May. It will be very nice to once again have time to interact with the furry community. Just a few more months and you all will have to once again put up with my silly ass on a regular basis. :Þ
