Grad School, Really?

Just as I thought I was done with school forever, I stumble upon an opportunity to get my masters degree paid for.  I will be back here at EIU for another long year starting in the fall, as a graduate assistant in the Kinesiology and Sports Studies department working on a degree in exercise science.  Right now I'm more excited than worried, but I have been told that changes as soon as you leave orientation in August.  Before I start graduate school however, I will be doing a summer internship at Velocity Sports in Tinley Park.  I will be training athletes as well as running camps throughout the summer.  There is only one more week of classes as an undergrad, and then I have 2 finals and I will be done.  I am suffering from such a severe case of senioritis right now too, so it couldn't come at a better time.  I should have more time to post more in the coming weeks, and with all the social things that seem to be filling my calendar there should be plenty to talk about (assuming I remember what happens).  I will be kicking it off with Beer-in-Hand Kickball this weekend at Fox Ridge State Park.  Should be a good time, and a bunch of really good guys are buying all the beer and filling some inflatable swimming pools with it (its still in the can don't worry).  Should be fun, and we finally have some nice weather here, mid 70s, SPRING BREAK WHAT!
