Simply.

Today I remembered a time when I wanted nothing more than to have my own car. It seemed that most of my troubles could be circumvented if I had my own car. Of course, now I know better, but I don’t regret my enthusiasm or anything like that. I do, however, now more or less realize my short-sightedness regarding the matter. Similarly, as I type before you today, I want nothing more than to be able to graduate come this Spring. It’s not that I hate education or anything remotely close to that end of the spectrum; but alas, I believe that I am anxious to graduate and show the world my accumulated knowledge and talent. I’m looking forward to a time in my life where homework is not constant threat and I am not barraged under a ton of work, from multiple angles. I can’t help but wonder where my short-sightedness regarding this matter may loom? Am I making the same natural mistake I made midway through high school? Or will my aspirations finally materialize given the circumstances? It appears that so much is still unknown and, on the bright side, yet to be determined.

I must digress, however, that this is not the end of the road for me. I definitely have my eye on graduate school though I imagine that the academic routine of graduate school would be much different then what I experienced through as an undergraduate. I’m looking forward to moving up and past these early milestones in life. There aren’t many of them in life; maybe high school diploma, bachelors, masters*, doctorates*, house, wife, children, toys (cars, do it yourself home improvement, etc), real vacations, et al.
