Can I just be a professional student?

I am (discreetly) blogging from my cozy little nook in the dean's office. I work as a grad assistant here, and have many very interesting duties, like research, examining our website and walking various packages across campus. I love being the gopher, I love to walk around campus and see all the people. So often I end up stuck at the campus coffee shop, the library and the School of Communication.

On days like this, when it's in the 80s and the palm trees are swaying in the wind and you walk under the sudden shade of the overhanging oak trees, I feel like I could be a student forever (although I would like to be a student and not work multiple jobs.)

Right now the last thing I want to think about is looking for a job. I don't want to work in a cubicle, though I have done it many times. At my current internship I sit in the same office as my boss, and I would rather share my space than sit alone, divided off from everyone. I can't concentrate like that.

My walks about campus always inspire this random thought process. Especially when I have to walk around pep-rally crowds (go canes!) and feed off the excitement and energy of such a diverse crowd.
I'm excited for fall and football games, walking around in a sweater and a coffee, seeing my classmates and talking about anything other than work and finding jobs. Fall semester is always my favorite :-)
