You know, going into this line of business, it is so easy to get carried away by money and the perks that you get. It doesn't help that in today's world, success is measured by those tangible and quantifiable things like the amount of money you earn and your wealth. I just hope that I will remain grounded and not forget the more important things in my life. It's something I've been thinking about and struggling for some time, and I'm not really sure if I will be able to resolve these conflicts later on.
Oh well. Graduation is drawing nearer (pardon me if I keep talking about this haha). Yesterday, on the way back, we talked about which semester has been the semester so far. To be honest, I don't really know because each one is different in its own ways and has its own unique experiences and lessons for me. But I think this semester is turning out to be right up there (along with last semester - despite craziness towards the end - and my sophomore fall semester). And it just struck me that I considered my last two semesters to be the best ever. I think it has to do with the fact that I've made a conscious effort to let go and not think too much about schoolwork, and to try to make the most of my time left, to do more spontaneous/random/crazy things. I think it also has to do with knowing my friends and the people around me better, which have made me cherish my friendships here even more. I wish I'll still be going to school next semester..I will really miss school.
Three things (or maybe more) I wish/hope I can do before I leave: 1) Ride the incline and go up Mount Washington (my favorite place in Pittsburgh!) 2) Watch sunrise or sunset from the top of Mt Wash or Cathedral of Learning (I miss watching sunsets from my New House room during my freshman year) 3) Have a nice dinner together at some fancy restaurant (maybe Cheesecake Factory? Besides, I think it'd be fun to dress up haha). If not, going to Kennywood would be pretty nice too.
