The Last Semester...or three please

So here I am in what is suppose to be my last semester of college...as an undergrad that is. Yes, I'm going to graduate. No, I do not have a job. I'm actually sick of the whole job and career searching thing at this point. I haven't totally given up on finding a job for next year, but I have come up with a better plan - one more year of school! I don't like studying, I never got very good grades, and I don't consider myself very intelligent. But, I have realized that over the past year, if i work hard enough, prepare enough for exams, and attend class - I get good grades.

Therefore, I have decided to forgo my incredibly easy schedule this semester that I work so hard for the past 3 semesters (by cramming in the extra hours) and try my hand at accounting. It was rather spur of the moment decision making, but I think it will pay off in the end. As a result, I have picked up 2 extra upper level accounting courses this semester and have started looking into MSA programs. The only unfortunately thing about this plan is that I would be in South Bend for another year (most likely). That is, if I can get better at this whole GMAT thing and finish the 3 other accounting courses this summer. None the less, I'm happy that I have a little direction in my life at this point.

So, maybe this isn't just my last semester. Maybe I can stay in college forever. Or, maybe I'm just waiting for that one intelligent person to finally hire me as their full-time life coach. That, or some bread winner to pick me up as their stay at home, mow the lawn trophy spouse.
