Based on my last check, I’ve fulfilled all of the requirements for my degree in history, except for a number of a few electives. 30 some odd hours of them, more specifically. If I’ve figured things up correctly, I’ve got 2 semesters left. 2 semesters – the end is in sight! Very vague and indistinct, to be sure, but I can at least see it.

Thinking about that, I wonder if I’ll have more free time once I’m done, or whether a full-time job – assuming I can find one – will eat up just as much time. I’m thinking I actually will have more free time. At least with a full-time job, I can be assured that, barring overtime, the job will use up 40 or so hours a week. With college, I’ve no idea how many weekly hours I pour in. Certainly my actual time in class is much lower than a full-time job, but there are plenty of things to do outside of class. Sometimes it feels like my days are nothing but a long spree of reading, studying, and writing. Of course, I bring a lot of this on myself, because I genuinely hate to get anything other than an A, but still – lots of stuff to do.
