I’m not really looking forward for next year; for various reasons, but one in particular that might seem a bit silly but in reality isn’t. In the last year and a half, I’ve made friends, good friends actually, and comes the end of this semester we’ll all be doing something new. Some are staying in Montreal, others are planning to go to grad school outside the province and others are going to get a job. It’s kinda sad that it might come to an end sooner than we thought. Those are people that know me and that I know that I can count on. They’re the friends that make it really fun to just go out to a pub, drink beer and just talk and laugh. Or with whom we go play hockey, just like we did over the weekend. We went to Parc Lafontaine (a huge park in Montreal) and joined people that were already playing; it seems to me that it’s a very Canadian thing to do. I must admit that I have bruises on my knees cuz I felt a bit but it was so much fun. So was drinking hot chocolate at L’s place after it.
At the same time, I’m looking forward for next year since, things might change a lot since I might go to another school, meet new people and experience new things. But this feeling of being at home when I’m at school is definitely going to change. Such as walking in the lounge around lunch time, sitting on one of those red couches, eating lunch and enjoying it because people in the program know each other quite well and some times it feels like it’s one big family. Sadly, a bunch of them are going to graduate in May, and so will I.
By the way, I’m so lost with what is going to happen for me next year; I ran into my subway buddy from my old job the other day and he started to ask questions about what I want to do next year and what are my goals… he asked few questions; I talked with profs about grad school and they made me think about things I didn’t thought of, but I’m now asking myself a gazillion questions.

Change is never easy, and its quite alright to not know everything in a certainty at the moment.
Friends and going to come and go for well, probably the rest of your life. Its probably the biggest lesson I've learned in my post university life this year - its a hard one. But the good ones stick in there somewhere and you may not see them as often as you'd like, but hey, these days everyone is just a click away!
I hope you are able to find some clarity soon. :)
What Allison said is true. I have friends from university that are friends for life. We may not see each other very often, as we live all over the country, but they will always be there. But I understand how you will miss the comfortable feeling you have right now.
Allison, I think that this is going to be one of the most valuable lessons that I'll have learned through university. I think that clarity will come when I'll see where I'm going to be accepted!
Barbara, losing that comforatble feeling is scary but at the same time, I know that at one point I'll find a place where I'll feel as good.
