School is a snake eating its tail

The education process sometimes feels...might I say...repetetive. I'm stuck in this cycle of beginnings and endings, which are never really endings afterall. I graduate from kindergarten, eighth grade, high school, et cetera, only to re-enroll and start all over again come August.

I started my college search early, investigating options as a 9th grader (although Aquinas never crossed my mind until senior year, and even then, it was an unlikely pick). But still, my search was finished by that November. By then, I never wanted to see another college brochure, take another standardized test, or list my volunteer activities on one more form.

Now, it's starting all over again.

Beth (my theatre history prof.) mentioned this in class a few weeks ago: She discussed the patterns we followed in our own daily lives, and told us that one of the most disorienting can be the september after college graduation. hee.
